PD Enzo sniffs out suspect

About 12.30am on Friday 25 April, Northern District patrols spotted a red MG bearing false plates on Montague Road at Pooraka and attempted to stop the car however it took off a speed.

PolAir were overhead and tracked the car travelling at 130km/h in a 60km/h zone.  The car turned onto Berryman Drive and made it’s way onto North East Road and eventually back onto Montague Road.

The sedan drove through the back streets of Valley View where it was successfully spiked on Brougham Drive.

The car eventually came to a stop on Wright Road and the occupant ran from the vehicle and headed north over fences of residential properties.

Patrols quickly set up cordons and PD Enzo was called in to assist with the search of the man, where he tracked him to a property on Malbanda Avenue at Para Vista and he was arrested without incident.

Police searched the car and located a taser, a knife and ice pipes.

Checks revealed the car had been stolen from a Glengowrie address in December last year.

A 41-year-old man from Semaphore Park was charged with engaging in a police pursuit, driving unlicenced, possessing a prohibited weapon, carrying an offensive weapon, illegal use and altering plates.  He was granted police bail to appear in Elizabeth Magistrates Court on 4 June.
