Dramatic police chase ends in crash for 'stolen' Jaguar

A Camillo man has been charged with evading police through a number of Perth suburbs in the dramatic chase captured by WA Police's air-wing.

A police spokesman said a police vehicle activated its lights and sirens but the vehicle failed to stop, instead travelling through several southern suburbs including Lathlain, Carlisle, Welshpool, Bentley and Victoria Park. 

"Police Air-wing followed the stolen vehicle from above," he said. 

"The vehicle lost a rear tyre and continued to drive on three tyres. 

"Shortly after the stolen vehicle crashed into a power pole and a civilians vehicle on Shepperton Road, East Victoria Park."

The driver then allegedly ran from the vehicle and was arrested a short time later. His passenger remained on-the-run. 

A 20-year-old man from Camillo will appear in Perth Magistrates Court on Sunday charged with a string of offences including burglary, stealing, reckless driving, failure to stop and no authority to drive.
