SA Police hunting man wanted for leading police on a chase from Port Augusta and clipping police vehicle Police are searching for a man who clipped a police car during a chase in a stolen vehicle. POLICE are on the hunt for a man who clipped a police car during a chase in a vehicle stolen from Port Augusta early this morning. They attempted to pull over the man, who was driving a black Nissan Patrol, about 5.40am and pursued the man after he refused to stop. The man drove the 4WD south on Augusta Highway until about 9km south of Port Germein where police had set up road spikes. About 400m short of the spikes, the man did a U-turn, clipping a police car at low speed. He then drove the car onto unsealed roads towards Telowie. "Due to the poor road conditions officers lost sight of it," a police spokesperson said. A short time later the abandoned vehicle was located on an embankment, and a search of the surrounding bushland did not find the man. Police are asking members of the public in the Napperby, Nelshaby and Telowie areas to report any suspicious activity they may notice. Anyone in those areas who notices any suspicious activity should contact Crime Stoppers on 131 444. Police also reminded the public to securely lock their vehicles at night, removing all valuables or concealing them in the boot, and consider installing alarms.
