A man has been charged after a wild police chase through the outer suburbs of Perth.
Footage supplied by the Police Air Wing showed the car driving through Warnbro, Waikiki and Rockingham about 9.20am on Thursday, allegedly speeding, driving on the wrong side of the road, and running red lights.
Cars and trucks can be seen swerving out of the driver’s way as he allegedly weaved through traffic, and ploughed over the median strip while being tracked by the police helicopter.
At one point the driver drives through a car wash before entering a deserted lot.
Rejoining the highway, the car swerved onto the shoulder of the road, hit a tree and rolled.
The driver could be seen getting out of the car and running away on foot before he was arrested nearby.
Police charged him with stealing a car and driving recklessly, failing to stop, driving without a licence, driving with fake registration plates, and damaging property.
He was denied bail in court yesterday and is set to reappear in Rockingham Magistrates Court on April 11.
