Man charged with seven offences following information provided via Operation Roam – Holbrook

A man will appear in court over seven offences, following investigations by police under Operation Roam, which led to an alleged pursuit near Holbrook earlier this month.

NSW Police Force has joined Crime Stoppers Australia for Operation Roam 2015, to help track down wanted fugitives from across the country.

Police will use Facebook and Twitter to seek information from the community about a number of alleged offenders who may have left their state or territory and are now residing interstate.

During the launch of Operation Roam 2015, a 40-year-old man was one of those circulated as wanted by virtue of an arrest warrant.

Following information gathered, about 1.20pm on Wednesday 5 August 2015, police patrolling the Hume Highway, Woomargama, attempted to stop a Holden Barina, believed to be driven by the 40-year-old man.

Further checks revealed the vehicle was allegedly not registered.

The vehicle failed to stop, and a pursuit ensued to a rest area at Four Mile Creek where the driver stopped the vehicle and allegedly attempted to resist police, before he was arrested.

He was taken to Albury Police Station, where he was charged with:

– Drive motor vehicle while disqualified,

– Drive recklessly,

– Use unregistered motor vehicle,

– Use uninsured motor vehicle,

– Drive vehicle without correct registration,

– Resist officer in execution of duty, and,

– An outstanding warrant.

The man has been refused bail, to appear at Albury Local Court on 6 September 2015.
