Police patrol
with Brodie Cowburn
Charges laid after police pursuit THE Air Wing helicopter was called in to help chase down an allegedly stolen car in Langwarrin last week. At around 3pm on 3 February, police pursued the car down McClelland Drive. Police say that the car had collided with a civilian vehicle, decamped
at “an excessive speed”, and eventually stopped just outside the flora and fauna reserve. Police arrested one youth inside the reserve. They later arrested a further two youths from the Cranbourne area. Police charged the alleged offenders
with theft of motor vehicle, and conduct endangering life or serious injury. A CAR lies on the side of McClelland Drive after a police chase. Picture: Gary Sissons
