Police across the Hills and Murraylands have had a busy period, attending to car fires, stolen vehicles and motorists driving whilst disqualified.
They’re calling for witnesses and dash cam footage following a car fire on Paddy Hill Road in Mount Barker, after reports that a car was ablaze just before 1am this morning.
Emergency services managed to prevent the fire, which had started in the driveway, from spreading to the nearby house.
Anyone with further information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
It follows a police pursuit involving local patrols and the SAPOL helicopter, which ended with two arrests at Tailem Bend on Sunday morning.
Officers were alerted to an allegedly erratically driven Hyundai near Keith on Sunday morning, and checks revealed it had been reported stolen in Victoria.
A witness kept police updated on the car’s movements before it stopped at a service station.
A 21-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman from Victoria were arrested and charged.
Murray Mallee police also caught two separate drivers in Murray Bridge on Saturday who were driving whilst disqualified.
A 52-year-old man and 42-year-old man, both from Murray Bridge, will face the local court at a later date.
