ANPR Tech and Stingers Bring Suspect to Heel
Officers were called to the scene following the brazen carjacking and vehicle theft. Using cutting-edge ANPR cameras, police instantly spotted the stolen vehicle on local roads.
The suspect behind the wheel was stopped cold by a tactical stinger deployment, a technique that safely bursts tyres to force a fast-moving vehicle to a halt. The drama ended on Bearwood’s streets, where the offender was swiftly cuffed and taken into custody.
Police spokesperson: “This was an excellent example of teamwork and technology delivering justice. The suspect was in handcuffs and reflecting on his choices within an hour. He now faces serious charges.”

The man, whose identity is yet to be revealed, has been formally charged with vehicle theft offences. He remains in custody ahead of a court appearance tomorrow, where he will face a magistrate.
