Stanley Ceissman fronted Albury Local Court this week after the police pursuit on the Hume Highway on August 6.

The 23-year-old was on parole and driving the stolen Boxster when he came to police attention at Woomargama.

He was only travelling at 106km/h when police noticed him at 8.20am, but quickly hit 206km/h when they activated their lights and sirens at Holbrook.

The car continued to travel at more than 200km/h over the next 100 kilometres.

The police at times reached speeds of 230km/h without gaining on the sports car.

The vehicle was travelling so fast, it took less than half-an-hour to drive 100 kilometres.

The incident came to an end near the North Gundagai exit when the car came to a stop facing the wrong way. 

A witness spotted the Sydney man getting out of the car and running into farmland, causing police to set up a containment area.

A search dog was brought in and Ceissman was arrested while hiding in water in a creek bed. 

“Yeah, it’s a stolen car, big deal,” he told them after being caught. 

“How did the dog find me down here?

“I was meant to be in rehab in Victoria until October but I just wanted to get back to Sydney.”

The car had been stolen from the Melbourne suburb of Balaclava during an aggravated break-in earlier that morning, along with a Mercedes and a credit card. 

The owner wants Ceissman to pay $43,000 in compensation, which he will fight.

He will return to the Albury court on October 11 for sentencing.
