Multi-vehicle police pursuit ends in Gosnells
Police are searching for the driver of a silver Holden Calais involved in a multi-vehicle police pursuit that ended on Corfield Street in Gosnells early Sunday morning, November 17.
The incident began around 11:50 pm on November 16, when police attempted to stop the driver of a black Audi Q5 travelling near Beeliar Drive in Cockburn.
The Audi failed to stop, prompting a police pursuit through several southern and eastern suburbs.
Police Air Wing and ground units were deployed to track the vehicle, which was eventually brought to a stop on Tonkin Highway in Armadale after a stinger was used.
However, the driver of the Audi was picked up by a silver Holden Calais, and the pursuit continued.
Around 1:30 am, the Holden was stopped a short distance away on Corfield Street in Gosnells.
The 31-year-old driver of the Audi was arrested, along with a 32-year-old man who was a passenger in the Holden.
Police believe there were at least two other people in the Holden and are yet to identify the driver of that vehicle.
The 31-year-old man has been charged with several offences, including no authority to drive, reckless driving to escape pursuit by police, failing to comply with a police direction to stop, driving a vehicle with a forged, replica, or false plate, and being unlicensed while in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Two men remain in custody, and inquiries are ongoing to identify the driver of the Holden vehicle.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at crimestopperswa.com.au.
