Parkes Police news: Man critical after car rolls, charges expected

Emergency services were called to the single vehicle collision on Renshaw McGirr Way a little after 11am.

Paramedics worked on the man to stabilise him before he was airlifted to Liverpool Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition.

Police discovered the car - which was extensively damaged in the incident - was stolen.

Officers are awaiting the man's recovery before charging him with a range of offences linked to the Parkes and Forbes areas.

Parkes Police officers are dealing with another series of thefts from motor vehicles in town as they urge the community to remain alert.

Chief Inspector Scott Rayner said three vehicles were targeted in the same street overnight on Friday and Saturday.

Cars parked in Rose Street, the glove boxes had been searched.

A wallet and $100 worth of coins were taken from one vehicle, while another had items moved around.

"Offenders just went from one car after the other, which is a similar incident we saw a few months ago," Chief Inspector Rayner said.

"We're continuing to investigate the offences and are conducting forensic examinations."

A fourth theft from a vehicle occurred in East Street between 5.30pm Friday and 1pm Saturday.

The car parked beside a residence was left unlocked, with offenders stealing a small tin containing coins.

"What we're seeing is that these are all easy marks - unlocked vehicles and lose change sitting around," Chief Inspector Rayner said.

"They're not forcing entry into the cars so we're trying to not make it easy for them."

A 37-year-old man remains in custody for kicking down the door of a home and threatening another male.

The man attended a home in Kookaburra Street at 6pm on May 19, kicking down the door and threatening the 54-year-old male occupant.

He was arrested and charged with malicious damage and intimidation.

A 41-year-old Parkes man will appear in Parkes Local Court on July 8 after returning a positive result during a random breath test on Sunday.

He was stopped in his vehicle at 3.10am in Bogan Road where he was tested and later charged with a mid range PCA.

Parkes Police have issued a number of infringement notices to individuals at licensed premises last week and over the weekend.

A 49-year-old woman and 41-year-old man, both from Parkes were asked to leave a licensed premises in Clarinda Street at 8.30pm last Thursday because of intoxication.

Police were called when the pair failed to do so and issued them with infringement notices.

Police were conducting a licensed premises patrol at 10pm Friday when a 35-year-old man and a 47-year-old woman, both from Parkes, were spotted disturbing other patrons at a Clarinda Street location.

They were handed infringement notices for offensive language and told to move on, with which they complied.

During another patrol of a premises the same night at 10.30pm, a 24-year-old man was issued an infringement notice for offensive behaviour.

Two bicycles were stolen in Parkes, with police recovering one and still searching for the other.

The first theft occurred in East Street on May 17 between 5.30pm and 6pm, where a black and lime green Apollo brand bike was left out the front of a residence for a short period.

The bike was taken and is still outstanding.

Meanwhile a 16-year-old male was charged for stealing a $6000 bike from the back of a vehicle parked in Jansen Lane on May 19.

After examining CCTV footage allowing officers to identify the offender, they attended a residence in Gallop Avenue and recovered the bike, and arrested the teen.

Parkes Police are analysing CCTV footage after a car was damaged in Middleton Street.

Officers allege the incident occurred between 6.30am and 2pm on May 15, where two males were seen walking past on CCTV, one striking and smashing the windscreen.

Chief Inspector Scott Rayner said it appears it was a random attack and that no attempt was made to enter the vehicle.

Police are investigating a break and enter at Northparkes Oval between 9.50pm and midnight on May 17.

Offenders entered the clubhouse by smashing a window, stealing $400 worth of property.
