11 year old in stolen car arrested in Adelaide police pursuit

Police say they tried to pull over a white Toyota Prius just before 4:00am after checks revealed it had allegedly been stolen during a break-in in Valley View on Friday morning.

When the vehicle failed to stop, they pursued it along John Rice Avenue and Main North Road at Elizabeth South before it crashed into a tree at the intersection of Main North and Montague roads in Pooraka.

The driver fled the car but a search involving a police dog quickly located the suspect nearby.

The 11-year-old from Craigmore was charged with illegal use of a motor vehicle.

A total of 650 Ni-Vanuatu workers will travel to Australia this month alone under the Pacific Labour Scheme and Seasonal Worker Programme.  

 

Vanuatu cricket captain joins Adelaide club as player/coach

Mansale, who has skippered his national side since 2009, joined the Stingrays last month to coach and play in the club’s A grade.

The 32-year-old all-rounder is the second Vanuatu international to line up for Southern in the past year, following batsman Josh Rasu last season. Former Stingrays star turned Vanuatu coach Shane Deitz recommended both of them to Southern officials.

“I went through the Level 3 coaching course last year and I know Southern was looking for a coach, so I thought I would put my name up,” Mansale says.

Underground with Koven: Notorious Adelaide graffiti artist inspired by the 'nanny state'

The illusive artist who goes by the name Koven has been writing his tag on structures and walls around the city since the mid 2000s.

He is perhaps one of the city's most recognised writers due to some audacious roll-ups (graffiti painted up high on buildings, often with rollers).

In more recent years, however, his tag has appeared in small stickers placed on street lights, stobie polls, poster walls and pubs.
