was wondering why there was two choppers over my area today.
bastard was so brazen. ripping people out of their car, even trying to cut the seatbelt off people.
Did anyone see it first hand? seen a few bikes from the on-board footage from the channel 10 chase copter.
Ended up getting him after he rolled a triton- 11 HOURS after he first carjacked 2 women.
As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

A man is in custody after a frantic police chase through the streets of Perth finally ended in Malaga after he crashed into a police car.
The two-hour chase involved the assailant switching between three cars as he tried to lose police.
The last car, a red Mitsubishi Triton ute, ended up on its roof after crashing on Alexander Drive, police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall said.

Police said he stole that car in Swan View and drove it down Toodyay Road as well as Roe Highway.
Witness Anthony Del Casale said he drove up to a Holden Commodore the man was driving at the South Street/Kwinana Freeway lights in Murdoch about 12.15pm.
Mr Del Casale claimed the man got out of the car and tried to commandeer a stationary silver Holden ute.
Police arrested the man on the corner of Alexander Drive and Australis Avenue. View Larger Map
When the ute's driver accelerated off, the man got back into the Commodore and sped off through a red light and down South Street toward Roe highway.
At the time a helicopter was in pursuit and unmarked police cars were following with no audible sirens.
Did you see the chase through Perth? Email WAtoday with any news.
Kwinana Freeway motorists warned to beware of speeding car.
The man was arrested on the corner of Australis Avenue and Alexander Drive around 1.30pm and was interviewed at Warwick Police Station.
He was initially evading police on Kwinana Freeway in a Subaru WRX, heading towards Rockingham, before he dumped that car for a Holden Commodore.
Radio 6PR reported that the carjacker was last seen driving the red ute along Reid Highway towards Malaga in Perth's north-east suburbs.
Police could not confirm how he gained occupancy of each vehicle but exclusive pictures from the Channel 10 helicopter show the man trying unsuccessfully to carjack an orange ute, before a police officer pulls a gun on him and he gets away.
The man was originally being pursued by police on the freeway, before the police chopper was employed as the chase stepped up a gear. The man was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the road, 6PR said.
Ms Weatherall said police chased the man down the freeway towards Rockingham before the car turned around northwards.
The driver dumped the silver Subaru before switching to a "blue or black" Holden Commodore.
Ms Weatherall said the chase was extremely dangerous for motorists.
"We're asking motorists to please be careful and if in doubt pull over," Ms Weatherall said at the time.
"It's a very dangerous situation for motorists."

Never mind that the guy is a raving lunatic driving on the wrong side of the road, evading police, violently car-jacking whatever he can get his hands on.
Never mind that the cars shown in this photo are stopped / at crawling pace and if it was that congested theres nearly NOTHING they can do. (yes.. its probably a file-photo)
Never mind any of that.
THE GUY IS SPEEDING.
Lord help us
Looking at some of the news footage a cop had his sidearm drawn and a clear background. Had this been the USA you just know that dude would have been pumped full of rounds trying to make good his getaway in the commodore.
Or maybe, just maybe, the journo is one of the good guys, demonstrating a point. Food for thought!

Saw PolAir on round today, so figures
FEADCinc, PSB?
Id like to know how the insurance companies deal with the wrecked cars.
"so you let him take the car"
hmm, that is a bit of a prickly one.
Cops call it reckless riding. I call it 'skillz'
If a weapon or force is used, I doubt you'd have problems with insurance. Test drives are a problem, because you give them the keys willingly.
No, he took it under the threat of violence. A human life is worth more than a car, exactly the same as how insurance companies will tell you to comply with armed robbers, and you will still be covered.
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

This guy escaped from Charlie Gardner, manhunt is on, Thomas St is blocked
His life is worth SFA in my opinion, I would happily taken the offender out in a decisive instant action (political Bullshit term for sniper-action) and stopped this rampage/carnage on our roads way sooner.
The mere fact that this very violent rampage ride was "Tolerated" ,by the BS rules hampering the authorities stopping this wild creature, shows the inadequate rules blatantly!
A great many law abiding citizens were severely traumatised and will be out of pocket and without their form of transport due to this wild idiot!
They are growing the lettuce leaf for his punishment as we type.
Yesterday State Parliament sitting was suspended because the "friends" of the one that died during transport in a van, disrupted (shouting obscenities and the like from the visitors gallery in parliament) demanding money and compensation.
This happened while you were at work earning their benefits!
Maybe we should try a stunt like that sometime soon, not
wasn't me i was at work all night i have witnesses and an alibie
A motorcycle is a joy machine. It's a machine of wonders, a metal bird, a motorized prosthetic. It's light and dark and shiny and dirty and warm and cold lapping over each other; it's a conduit of grace, it's a catalyst for bonding the gritty and the holy.
Geezus!
Use the force sitting in the holster!
Just a couple of shots make the phuker think a bit

Shoulda stopped at a Pay n Spray
slightly off topic, but what the hell was with the cops in/around the city this morning. They were randomly stopping and searching cars and holding me up at traffic lights, those bastards. It seems they were at a few of the entrances to Perth
