Two people have been arrested after a Volkswagen failed to stop for police in the northern suburbs last night.
At 8.15pm on Friday 11 April patrols spotted a Volkswagen sedan on Haydown Road, Elizabeth East and attempted to stop the vehicle however the driver sped off.
Patrols called in the assistance of PolAir who tracked the vehicle as it travelled through Elizabeth East.
The vehicle was seen to travel on the wrong side of the road on Midway Road and through a red light at the intersection of Main North Road and Black Top Road.
Patrols successfully spiked the vehicle's tyres on Stanford Road, Salisbury Heights. The car turned into St Albans Drive, Salisbury Heights, and the male passenger was seen to run from the vehicle.
The car continued for a short distance onto Featherstone Place, where the female driver abandoned the car and ran off.
The driver was found a short time later, hiding in the rear yard of a Stanford Road address.
A 22-year-old Elizabeth Grove woman was arrested and charged with drive dangerously to escape police pursuit, drive unlicensed, drive unregistered, trespass and unlawfully on premises. She was bailed to appear in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court on 12 May.
Her vehicle was impounded for 28 days.
Her passenger, a 35-year-old Renown Park man, was arrested and charged with breach of bail and outstanding warrants. He was refused police bail and will appear in court on Monday.
