The pair was refused police bail and will appear in Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday, 27 February. 

Another 32-year-old man from Brompton was arrested this morning as SA police found drugs and weapons in his vehicle. 

SA police spotted a BMW driving at speed on Port Road Woodville South, turning down Woodville Road, where police attempted to stop the vehicle. 

The driver allegedly refused to stop and soon abandoned the vehicle on John Street at Flinders Park. 

Police arrested him while he was hiding in a front yard before searching the man and his BMW, uncovering a significant amount of controlled drugs, prescription medication, scales, a baton and two machetes. 

Police had suspended his driver’s licence and he was charged with multiple offences, including failing to stop, possessing controlled drugs and prescription medication, going equipped and carrying offensive weapons. 

The BMW was impounded for 28 days, the man was refused bail and is set to face court later today.
