The men drove off, only for the chase to restart when police spotted their silver Nissan again. Once again they eluded police before abandoning their vehicle.
Two days later a local man reported his Toyota LandCruiser stolen, and the hunt began again, moving to northern Victoria, after the vehicle was apparently spotted several times.
But the vehicle again evaded police after being spotted on Thursday near the town of Castella, as it was travelling too fast for police to safely chase them.
Later the same day the driver made another successful getaway after ramming a police car in St James, in northern Victoria.
The two men were spotted several times over the next few days, and the public were warned they may be dangerous, before they were finally caught at Dunedoo.
