A man – wanted on outstanding warrants – will appear in court today charged with more than 30 alleged traffic and hunting offences, following a police operation in the Hunter region yesterday.
Following investigations into property crime in the Hunter Valley Police District, officers attended a property on Ridgeland Road, Wybong about 7am yesterday (Sunday 18 February 2024) to execute outstanding warrants for the arrest of a 30-year-old man.
Upon police attendance, a man was seen to run from the residence and local general duties officers were assisted by PolAir, to track the man after he left the property, driving through bushland in a utility.
The 30-year-old man was arrested a short time later and taken to Muswellbrook Police Station where he was charged with six offences including take and drive conveyance without consent of owner, two counts of police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously, drive while licence suspended, and drive while disqualified.
Three outstanding warrants were also executed for 27 traffic, property and hunting offences.
The Singleton man was refused bail to appear before Muswellbrook Local Court today (Monday 19 February 2024).
