A woman was arrested in a stolen car in the city last night.
Just after 8pm on Friday 1 August, police were notified of a blue BMW attending a service station at Croydon Park. The same car had previously driven off without paying for petrol, so the attendant refused to turn on the pumps and alerted police.
Inquiries with the registered owner revealed that she was unaware the car had been stolen. She managed to track the vehicle and provide police with updates on its location.
About 9.15pm, PolAir spotted the stolen BMW at Enfield and tracked it into the city. When it came to a stop in Vinrace Street, Adelaide police swooped on the car.
The driver, a 36-year-old Henley Beach South woman, was arrested and charged with illegal use and driving unlicensed. She was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 17 September.
The stolen vehicle was towed from the scene for forensic examination.
