A thrilling car chase in Melbourne's inner city has resulted in charges for a man and a woman. It all began in a supermarket parking lot where the suspects, who were allegedly driving a stolen car, caught the attention of the police. As the suspects fled, the police attempted to stop them with the use of stop sticks.
In the dashcam recording, a woman can be heard cheering on the driver, urging them to keep going. The police, on the other hand, can be heard shouting for the suspects to pull over. The car then weaves through the busy streets of Fitzroy, narrowly avoiding a tram on Smith Street. The male suspect boasts about his driving skills as the car continues to speed away.
As the pursuit intensifies, the car swerves onto the wrong side of the road, endangering other drivers. The dashcam footage captures the moment when the car runs a red light and nearly hits a pedestrian. In a desperate attempt to escape, the suspects collide with a Ford Ranger in Parkville and come to a halt.
However, their attempt to flee on foot was short-lived as the police quickly caught up to them. It was a dramatic end to the chase, witnessed by nearby resident Liz Dohrman. She recalls seeing the suspects' car facing the wrong way and smoking after crashing into a parked car.
It was later revealed that the car was stolen from a suburb in southeast Melbourne the day before. The 40-year-old male suspect from Dandenong was charged with multiple offences, including reckless driving and theft of a motor vehicle. He is set to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court in August. His 28-year-old female accomplice was also charged with theft of a motor vehicle but was granted bail until her court appearance in September.
