Traffic and Highway Patrol Command officers were patrolling Edward Street in Wagga at about 10pm on September 17 when they allegedly heard multiple vehicles accelerating nearby.
A yellow and purple Ford Falcon were then allegedly detected a short time later travelling along Edward Street at 120km/h in a 60km/h zone.
A separate white Ford Falcon was also alleged to have been travelling with the group.
