IN separate driving incidents, a 37-year-old Kambah man and a 34-year-old Florey woman were arrested overnight.

The man was detected him driving a silver Holden Commodore in excess of 120km/h in a 60km/h zone in Ellenborough Street, Kaleen, about 10.55pm last night (November 6).

The driver abandoned the car in Cossington Street, Lyneham, and ran off without securing the vehicle, which led to it rolling back and damaged the police car. The man was apprehended nearby a short time later.

Police discovered the man’s licence had expired in October, 2018, and that the car was unregistered, uninsured, and had been fitted with number plates reported as stolen from another vehicle.

The man also recorded a positive indication to a prescribed drug and faces the following charges:

• Fail To Stop
• Unlicensed Driver
• Unregistered Vehicle
• Uninsured Vehicle
• Possess Stolen Property
• Number Plate Not Properly Issued
• Damage Police Vehicle
• Drug Driving

Meanwhile, the woman was arrested after her silver Toyota Yaris was stopped by police on Streeton Drive, Rivett, about 12.25 this morning (November 7).

While police were checking the woman’s identity, she drove off, but was located, still in the car, in a driveway in Diselma Place, Rivett, a short time later.

She faces charges of failing to stop, using an uninsured and unregistered vehicle and failing to produce a driver’s licence for police.
