Failure to pull over

POLICE attempted to pull over a white Ford Falcon in Curlewis Street about 1.15pm on Sunday but the driver failed to stop, driving away at speed.

The driver was identified and police said he would be interviewed once found.

LARGE stones were thrown through the windows of two parked cars outside a George Street house in Robinvale last Wednesday.

The alleged offender, a male, was said to have yelled abuse to the occupants and left the area before officers arrived.

Police said they had identified the alleged offender and an arrest was expected.

A MAN driving a dark coloured Ford Territory left a Robinvale service station without paying after filling up with 60 litres of fuel.

The incident happened about 4pm last Thursday.

Police obtained details and said the owner of the vehicle will be required to give the driver’s name to police.
