Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit Senior Constable Harrison Davis said a black Holden Statesman drove off on police when they tried to pull in over in McKean St, Mooroopna, soon after 12.30pm.

The Police had activated their lights and sirens, but pulled over after the car did not stop, with Police Air Wing instead taking over the tracking of the car.

The Air Wing tracked the car for 30 minutes through Mooroopna, to Tatura, and then back to Mooroopna.

Police allege it reached up to 150km/h through the main street of Tatura.

The vehicle was tracked to where it stopped at a house in Mooroopna, and Shepparton Crime Investigation Unit detectives attended the house.

A 21-year-old Shepparton man, a 21-year-old Shepparton woman and a 22-year-old Shepparton man were arrested at the house.

The two 21-year-olds were charged with possessing methamphetamines and have been released on bail.

The 22-year-old was released without any charges being laid.

The Statesman was impounded and police inquiries into the incident are continuing.
