A man has been charged in relation to an alleged evade incident in the North West yesterday.
Police observed a man, who is disqualified from driving, travelling on Bluewater Crescent at Shearwater about midday.
Road spikes were deployed, however the driver allegedly evaded police before leaving the vehicle in the Northdown area and fleeing on foot into nearby bushland.
Significant police resources, including the police drone unit, were deployed to the area and a 25 year old Squeaking Point man was subsequently taken into custody without incident about 1.30pm.
The man was detained to appear in the Devonport Magistrates Court later today on a number of charges including driving whilst disqualified, evading police, family violence, bail breaches and possessing drugs and ammunition.
Acting Inspector James Scicluna said there had been no risk to the wider community.
“I am proud of our police officers who remain committed to protecting our community,” he said.
“I would also like to thank the community for their patience and understanding of any delays during our searches yesterday.”
