Ok no worries - I only heard the final seconds before he hit the pole and I thought sirens were on so I assumed it was a pursuit.
Great job by the police for dragging him out of the car - must have taken a lot of courage to do that with the car on fire and live wires dangling very close.

1 on board, blown tyre, went on the wrong side a couple of times, and was thus aborted, but came back onto the right side, so continued. Car eventually lost.
Yeah heard the chase Walks, and Truckie emailed me the audio. I note Police Media got the day wrong and can't spell kilometres. Good ol' Ian Haselby - I 'spose he used to be a new reader for 6PM so spelling didn't matter on the wireless.....
Saw a strange sight this morning. Outside the local high school, Traffic had a radar gun operating picking up speeders through the 40kph zone, but their vehicles was FG105, one of the Rodeo's. Maybe the traffic cars were unavailable. First time I've seen a Rodeo used for this!!!
Ive seen the cockburn divvy van on northlake rd right on the bill south bound as you head towards forrest rd doing speed checks...very cheeky you cant see them as you go up the hill the van hides away nicely behind that tree.

Wooot!
They were lost for a little while though, must have spotted them again! Must have been while I was getting lost in bunnings I missed the rest of the chase after the final abort. But thanks for that release!

If stupidity got me into this mess, why can't it get me out.
Listening back to the audio, GC104 sounded very frustrated with the suspect turning up at the counter of Curtin House and them trying to get the job information to the ZM and ZS car. Phone troubles etc...
