An Audi tracked by PolAir has led to the arrest of two people at Enfield this morning.
About 9.45am on Wednesday 7 June, police spotted a grey Audi sedan on Churchill Road, Kilburn which had been linked to a wanted suspect.
Police attempted to stop the Audi to check on its occupants however the driver refused to pull over and was pursued on to Regency and Prospect Roads before being terminated for safety reasons.
PolAir started tracking the Audi from the air as it headed into the Enfield area and then through the backstreets of Greenacres.
The Audi stopped briefly on Fosters Road, Hillcrest where a passenger got out and the car took off again. The passenger went into a nearby home but was quickly arrested by patrols.
PolAir continued tracking the vehicle back to Enfield where it stopped in McCusker Avenue and the driver subsequently arrested.
The driver, an 18-year-old man from Enfield has been charged with dangerous driving to escape police pursuit. He was bailed to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on 10 August. The car was impounded.
The passenger, a 16-year-old boy from Elizabeth South, will be charged over an outstanding robbery.
The robbery relates to an incident which occurred at a Windsor Gardens home on Sunday 4 May. Three males allegedly attended the home after the resident had advertised clothing for sale via an online marketplace. The suspects were armed with machetes and stole items of clothing before fleeing the scene.
A 17-year-old boy from Klemzig and a 15-year-old boy from Windsor Gardens had already been charged over the incident and appeared in the Adelaide Youth Court on 5 June. CO2300021420
