Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man who allegedly rammed police and civilian cars and the front garage of a home overnight.
The man first came to police attention following reports he was asleep at the wheel of a parked car in Beilby Court about 10.50pm.
Officers checked the car and confirmed the Holden Statesman was unregistered and the registration plates stolen.
Police were initially unable to wake the man, so they moved in and placed tyre deflation devices in the vicinity of the car.
Once awake the man allegedly ignored several requests by police to get out of the car before he allegedly rammed one of the police cars and drove off over the stop sticks.
It’s alleged the man then drove through the front gates of a home where he reversed back and forth crashing into the brick pillars of a carport and a number of parked cars and police vehicles, causing significant damage, before coming to a stop.
Officers arrested the Hastings man after they deployed OC foam and removed the man from the car.
The 33-year-old man has been charged with aggravated reckless exposure of a police officer to risk by driving, damage to emergency service vehicle by reckless driving, reckless conduct endangering serious injury, drive without a motor vehicle licence and handle stolen goods.
He has been remanded to appear at Frankston Magistrates’ Court on 6 September.
No one was injured during the incident.
