POlice impound 'hoon' car after noisy Nedlands spin-out

Tow-truck driver Ron Clarke said this impounded 1989 V8 Commodore had an expensive stereo system with two sub-woofers in the boot.

Subiaco police have impounded their first car under new "hoon laws".

The car was impounded on Tuesday morning because of noise made when its driver spun its wheels in Carrington Street, Nedlands, during a high-speed chase.

Police said they had chased the 1989 Holden Commodore, which they estimated had been travelling at 100kmh through Nedlands side streets, at 7.30am on Tuesday, December 22.

Police said the 23-year-old driver had spun his wheels on Carrington Street and officers had put on their siren and followed him at high speed through Broome, Bedford and Weld streets and back up a side street to Carrington Street.

Police said the man had driven recklessly and the wrong way round the Weld Street roundabout.

They said the chase ended when he pulled into his drive on Carrington Street.

The car was impounded for the noise created from spinning the wheels under the new hoon laws but it was the driver's first offence and the car was returned after 48 hours.

The police intend to charge the man for failing to stop, reckless driving and driving without a licence.

They are urging witnesses to contact Subiaco police on 9381 6811.
