Yesterday, a man was charged for his involvement in a frightening incident at a Perth car park. Reports claim that the 53-year-old approached a woman in her 30s who was unloading her shopping while holding her baby. It was alleged that the man threatened the woman with an axe and stole her white Holden Commodore. Thankfully, the woman was not physically harmed during the encounter.
The man was later seen driving recklessly on Thomas Road at 1.30am this morning. When police attempted to stop him, he failed to comply and continued to drive recklessly. After a chase, the police were able to deploy spikes and bring the car to a stop on the Kwinana Freeway in Bertram. The suspect was taken into custody and has since been charged with several offenses, including aggravated armed robbery and reckless driving.
Police also arrested a 50-year-old woman who is believed to have driven the man to the shopping center and assisted in the theft of the vehicle. She was stopped in a separate car near the shopping center and taken into custody. During the pursuit, two police vehicles were damaged, but luckily no officers were injured.
Both the man and the woman will be facing court today at the Perth Magistrates Court. The incident has caused quite a stir among Perth residents, with many expressing their shock and concern. Some have even reported being overwhelmed by the stench of the Metronet construction in the area.
