Cash, guns and cars have been allegedly stolen in a series of rural NSW break-ins.
Police said a stolen Holden Commodore was spotted at an intersection in the NSW town of Rylstone on January 17 and when it ignored police requests to pull over a car chase erupted.
The people allegedly in the car, a 36-year-old woman and 26-year-old man, evaded police in Mudgee but were found an hour later and arrested.
Rural Crimes officers suspect the pair of a series of alleged home burglaries in nearby villages Running Stream and Aarons Pass.
"A large amount of property, firearms, cash and a Hyundai I30 were allegedly stolen," police said.
One of the homes was destroyed by a fire.
Charges laid
The 36-year-old woman was charged with a series of offences including two counts of aggravated break and enter, firearms and car theft as well as damaging property with fire.
The 26-year-old man from Blacktown was charged with aggravated break and enter as well as stealing a car.
Both people were refused bail and will face Lithgow Local Court on February 1.
Investigations by the newly-formed Strike Force Uji, investigating rural robberies, are continuing.
