A man who was wanted on a number of outstanding warrants in the Orana region has been charged today.

At about 1pm this afternoon (Friday 30 June 2023), officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District attended Gilgandra after they received information about a wanted man being in the area.

With assistance from neighbouring police, a perimeter was established and following inquiries, a 32-year-old man was arrested at a home on Wamboin Street about 2.25pm.

He was taken to Dubbo Police Station where he was charged with the four outstanding warrants.

The warrants were for various offences including police pursuit – not stop – drive recklessly, take and drive conveyance without consent of owner and domestic-related offences.

Police will allege in court that the pursuit occurred in Coonamble in the early hours of Saturday 17 June 2023.

On that night, at around 1.15am, officers from Orana Mid-Western Police District attempted to stop a red Mazda CX3 along Aberford Street, Coonamble, due to it allegedly travelling in excess of the speed limit.

The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit was initiated.

However the pursuit was terminated a short time later due to safety reasons.

Officers attended a home in Warrena Street, Coonamble soon after at about 2am where they located the vehicle involved, however the driver escaped.

Their investigations have led them to today's arrest in Gilgandra.

The man was refused bail to appear before Dubbo Bail Court tomorrow (Saturday 1 July 2023).
