A CAR allegedly stolen from outside a house at Dromana on the weekend was involved in a police pursuit and alleged ramming of two police cars.
Police will allege a 39-year-old Cranbourne man deliberately reversed the 2002 Audi into two police cars, one in Hall Road, Carrum Downs and the other in Eramosa Road East, Somerville, before driving off towards Cranbourne.
Police arrested the man on Peninsula Link after bringing the car to a halt using stop sticks, early Saturday 28 August.
Senior Detective Clayton Beckhouse, of Somerville CIU, said the man was to face Frankston Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Monday 30 August) charged with multiple offences, including theft of a car, damage to emergency service vehicle, dangerous driving, and reckless conduct endangering life.
