A teenager has been charged with driving and drug utensil offences and had his car impounded for 28 days after allegedly evading police yesterday.
A police spokeswoman said police allege a white Nissan Coupe was seen travelling east on Victorsen Parade, Clarkson, about 5pm yesterday and on sighting police continued to drive out of sight turning into Connolly Drive.
