chrissss
The white van chase was the longest local metro we did.
It went on for about 1hr 20 odd minutes.
Some what a SLOW SPEED CHASE, I recall 90kms tops.
For a long time near the end he was dong only 40 !
There might be a unmarked car (read MIG) who remembers.
WATCH OUT FOR THAT DITCH !!!
I hope they also remember I did NOT get the camera
Who remember the Armed Car chase way way back !

What is said is not important.
What is heard is all that matters.

Is this the one you mean??
In May 1993 WA Police were confronted with a rampaging 11 tonne tracked vehicle driven by Gary Alan Hayes, 31years, who had stolen the vehicle from an army depot. His first attack was on the Wembley Police Station, located 10km from the city, at 4.40am crashing through a fence, damaging a police vehicle, as well as the building itself. Detectives from this station had been dealing with him over other criminal offences. He had previously been charged over $78,000 worth of counter- terrorist equipment stolen from the SAS barracks in November 1992. Police attended and he then crashed into the rear of their van knocking them into a lamp post. He then travelled into the city, to Police Headquarters and the City Police Station where at 5.15am he smashed through security gates. He then commenced to run over six police vehicles and a motor cycle, as well as private vehicles, parked in the secure area. Crashing his way out and demolishing the exit gates, he then travelled to the Central Law Courts, slamming into the masonry supports to this building. He then travelled to the CIB building in Beaufort Street, Perth and caused further damage, but could not get past the bollards guarding the building.Travelling onto Parliament House, he circled the building and stopped. Police negotiators attempted to talk to him through a slit in the front of the vehicle, but he set off again into the central city. Police had noticed that a hatch on the vehicle was not totally secure. Three officers climbed onto the vehicle from the rear. The driver became aware and he attempted to dislodge them by driving into a bus shelter, which he demolished in the process. The TRG officers managed to drop a tear-gas grenade into the vehicle through the loose hatch, which also gave them entry, finally arresting the offender who resisted arrest violently at about 6.15am. It was then discovered that the vehicle was not carrying ammunition for its guns. He was charged on 19 counts of Criminal Damage, burglary and Assault of Police Officers. The preparedness of police to confront and neutralise such varied situations only comes with our commitmentto planning and training for all contingencies, with each decade bringing further challenges. Constable D. Shaw and Constable A.J. Power received a Commissioner’s Certificate of Merit for their actions resulting in the arrest of this person.

Thats the one, I was not filming then.
That would have been a fantastic job.
They really didn't know if he had ammo or not.
There was a guy in USA who welded thick plating to a D12 Dozer.
Then went nuts smashing down buildings.
The police tried to stop him with a huge grader.
But he just pushed it over a embankment
In the end he got stuck under building that collapsed on him.

And let me tell you a certain lady friend (yeah yeah, read into it what you will) was more than 'not happy' arriving at work and finding her unmarked highway sedan missing from the yard the next morning too..
