Man arrested at Rosemeadow over breach of AVO

Last Saturday, officers from Campbelltown City Police Area Command attended a home in Jubilee Circuit, Rosemeadow, following reports a 27-year-old man was at the premises, which was allegedly in breach of an enforceable AVO.

Police were denied entry into the home and later returned, where they executed a search warrant.

The man was arrested inside the home and taken to Campbelltown Police Station.

He was charged with contravening an AVO and refused bail to appear in court the next day.

The man was one of 550 people charged with more than 1160 offences during a four-day state-wide operation targeting domestic and family violence.

Operation Amarok IX ran during February 19 to 22 and involved officers from all police area commands and police districts across NSW.

Meanwhile, police conducted 73,566 breath tests, with 166 drink driving offences and 5136 drug tests with 439 people returning positive results during Operation Raid, held February 20-22.

While the operation focused on detecting those driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, the high-visibility operation saw police also detect 2684 speed related offences 454 mobile phone usage, and 182 seatbelt/helmet related offences.

One of the alleged incidents from South Western Sydney resulted in a teenager appearing in court after being charged with speeding on the M5.

Police say that about 2.05am on Sunday, February 23, officers conducting stationary speed enforcement detected three motorcycles allegedly speeding on the M5 Motorway near Heathcote Road.

Police followed two of them, with one allegedly being detected travelling at 177km/h in a 100km/h.

Police attempted to stop one of the motorcycles and when they did not stop, a pursuit was initiated.

The pursuit was terminated when police lost sight of the motorcycle.

About five minutes later, the motorcycle was located and the rider, a 17-year-old boy was charged.

The teenager is due to appear before a children’s court on April 1.
