Blake Memorey, 22, refused bail in Tamworth court on pursuit charges; Oxley police appeal for information on woman after Landcruiser carjacked on Werris Creek Road

Blake Memorey, 22, fronted Tamworth Local Court by video link on Friday after spending the night in custody.

His Aboriginal Legal Service defence solicitor confirmed Memorey would not make a bid for bail that day.

Magistrate Roger Prowse formally denied his release and adjourned the charges to next month.

Intelligence led police to Werris Creek on Thursday morning.

A pursuit was sparked about 11:30am when officers said they spotted Memorey behind the wheel of a car.

Police said the vehicle came to a stop on Taylors Lane at Quipolly and a woman - who was a passenger in the car - fled on foot before carjacking a silver Toyota Landcruiser on Werris Creek Road.

Police claim Memorey also tried to run but was arrested on a private property a short time later.

Oxley police have issued a public appeal for information as they search for the woman.

She is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 170cm tall, of medium build, and with brown hair and brown eyes.

The car she is believed to have been travelling in after the reported carjacking is a silver Toyota Landcruiser with NSW plates that read CA52EN.
