00:00
About 12 o'clock midday today, police have engaged with a white Falcon Ute that was driving
00:09
dangerously down in Gordon.
00:12
Police have tried to stop stick that vehicle a number of times and been successful.
00:16
That vehicle's continued up into Waniyassa where it has crashed against a tree.
00:22
One miles got out of that vehicle and ran from police.
00:25
A short time later, due to the assistance from the community, police have located that
00:29
male and arrested him just behind me here.
00:33
Additionally, in proximity to that vehicle, we've found a backpack that is suspected to
00:39
belong to that person of interest.
00:40
And that person of interest, the bag contains two firearms.
00:47
It's suspected that the car was containing some drugs and other paraphernalia and had
00:50
a strong odour of drugs.
00:53
They will be yet to be analysed, so we can't comment on the nature of those drugs.
00:57
The vehicle was moving in and out of traffic and causing a danger to the public.
01:01
All I can say is it was down in Gordon and it was moving northwards.
01:05
Police arrested the offender at 12.30 today.
01:08
So in that period, police lost contact with it a couple of times and re-engaged with it
01:13
as well.
01:14
There were two people.
01:15
One's assisting us with our enquiries, the other one has been arrested.
01:18
Very concerning to police.
01:20
It's also no doubt concerning to the community, but just be rest assured that ACCT Policing
01:25
is working very hard to take this type of equipment off the roads and out of the public's
01:30
hands.
01:31
It could have been quite disastrous, to be honest with you.
01:34
It's not only placing my officers at risk, it's placing members of the community at risk.
01:39
That's when we get very upset with the manner of driving, and that's why we continue to
01:43
pursue these people.
01:46
The only coincidence is, I was about over a K away when I found the bag with the weapons
01:58
in it, and I knew it was no good on the way to the cop shop to drop it off, and Tara brings
02:06
me in and says there's police here so I don't need to go to the cop shop, I can just come
02:10
home and pass it on.
02:16
I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going
02:20
to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the
02:24
cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop,
02:28
I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going
02:32
to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the
02:34
cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop,
02:36
I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going to the cop shop, I'm going
