Police said the driver allegedly “accelerated away” to avoid officers.
The vehicle was found a short time later at a home, where the 36-year-old man was arrested.
A search of the ute allegedly uncovered six grams of methylamphetamine in clip-seal bags, along with other drug-related items.
The man is now facing charges including evading police and possession of a controlled drug.
He will appear in the Burnie Magistrates Court at a later date.
Police said the ute has been seized “indefinitely”.
