Operation Boa continues its strike rate of capturing alleged criminals after nabbing a youth at Gilgandra last weekend.

Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District established Operation Boa in January this year, targeting criminal activity in Dubbo and surrounds.

The project has seen successes including detaining a man in March who later faced court following an investigation into property offences targeting Narromine businesses.

The most recent arrest by the team occurred last weekend which has resulted in a teen due to face court after being charged following a pursuit in the Central West.

Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District established Operation Boa in January this year, targeting criminal activity in Dubbo and surrounds.

About 2.10am on Saturday 18 May, police were patrolling Cobborah Road, Dubbo, when they attempted to stop a Holden Commodore travelling at excessive speed.

When it failed to stop, a pursuit was initiated. The pursuit was terminated a short time later on the Newell Highway due to safety concerns.

At around 2.40am, police sighted the same car entering Gilgandra and successfully deployed road spikes.

The vehicle came to a stop a short time later after hitting a gutter on Mullion Street.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station. He was charged with police pursuit - not stop - drive at speed.

The boy was refused bail and appeared at a children's court on Saturday 18 May, where he was formally refused bail to appear at another children's court on Monday 1 July 2024.

Inquiries under Operation Boa continue.
