Armadale Detectives have charged three men following an incident in Haynes on Sunday, 25 October 2026.
About 2.50pm, police will allege a stolen black Renault Koleos involved in a number of burglaries in the Armadale area, failed to stop for police on Boatwright Avenue and an evade police incident ensued.
It will be alleged the Renault was driven recklessly for approximately 40 minutes, including at speeds in excess of 150km/h, through red traffic control lights and on the incorrect side of the road, on footpaths and towards oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
It will be further alleged the Renault was deliberately driven towards police attempting to deploy a tyre deflation device on Tijuana Road, requiring an officer to take evasive action to avoid being struck.
The Renault was abandoned a short time later on Allawah Court in Armadale, where the driver and passenger fled the scene on foot. Both were located by police and taken into custody a short time later.
The 23-year-old man from Ellenbrook has been charged with:
• 1 x Steal Motor Vehicle and Drive Recklessly

The 31-year-old man from Victoria Park has been charged with:

• 3 x Stealing
As a result of further inquiries, search warrants were executed at two properties associated with the two accused men.
It will be alleged a loaded bolt-action rifle was located hidden in a child’s bedroom at a home on Tanaga Way in Haynes.
A 28-year-old man, who is an occupant of the home, has been charged with:
