Attempted evasion fails

A disqualified driver on a late-night drive attempted to evade police by hiding in a petrol station toilet yesterday.

Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said police spotted a car at 12.05am on Andersons Bay Rd being driven by a man who was disqualified from driving.

The 19-year-old driver also had bail conditions to not operate a vehicle.

When spotted by police, the man drove into a Z service station and attempted to hide from police in the toilets.

A short time later the man was removed from his hiding place and arrested by police.

The disqualified driver’s vehicle was impounded.
