And in Vic it is just an on the spot fine for shoplifting if it is under a certain amount and first offense.

Can't remember how much, but from memory it was less than a high level speeding fine and as a bonus no demerit points

I think the principle should over ride the $$ involved. These guys get away with the small stuff & then go on to much worse.

They caught him, with a minimum of fuss. Police shoot tyres out in the movies, this was real life.

minimum fuss? this thread is a result of the fuss caused!

I would have thought they should have the technology to shoot some kind of sticky transmitter at the vehicle and then pick him up at their leisure, for cases where the number plate isn't visible.

Except, they did.


UPDATE: POLICE have arrested a 33-year-old man, of no fixed address, in relation to the incident.
The man was arrested at Hungry Head Beach carpark and charged with stealing and traffic matters relating to the pursuit.
He was refused bail to appear in court on Tuesday.

Makes me wonder what might have been in the caravan that could have made running much more a reason than the 2 drinks he stole. Maybe meth lab, stolen goods, god knows what else...
