Police helicopters followed a Cranbourne male and female after failing to stop on police request until ground units could safely arrest them.

Both offenders were charged and bailed for drug possession and dangerous driving.

In Springvale, a local man driving without a licence was intercepted and returned a positive breath test three times over the legal limit.

The male had his vehicle impounded and an upcoming appearance at the Dandenong Magistrates’ court.
