A 25-YEAR-OLD Beechboro man has been charged with aggravated assault after allegedly attacking a man and trying to carjack two vehicles in Clackline on Friday.

Police allege that about 5.20pm, the Beechboro man drove his green Toyota Landcruiser through the front gate of a property on Refactory Road after the property owner refused to give him his car.

The Landcruiser driver narrowly missed the victim before he drove into a paddock, turned around and drove towards the victim again, hitting a pillar at the side of the house and then drove off, police allege.

Police further allege that about 5:30pm a man and woman were sitting in a white Mercedes van, parked on the side of Great Eastern Highway, near Refactory Road, when the driver of the Landcruiser pulled up on the passenger side.

“It’s alleged the man exited the Landcruiser and opened the door to the van. He entered the van and assaulted the male driver while demanding the keys to the vehicle,” a WA Police spokesman said

“The female passenger exited the van to seek help at which point the man returned to the Landcruiser and left the area.”

The Landcruiser was stopped by police a short time later on Great Eastern Highway and the driver was taken into custody.

The Beechboro man was charged with aggravated assault with intent to rob and intent to harm.

He was due to appear in the Perth Magistrates Court today.

Midland detectives are appealing for anyone with information in relation to this incident, or who might have witnessed the Landcruiser in the area to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make a report online at www.crimestopperswa.com.au

The latest carjacking attempts follow a series of violent vehicle theft attempts in Perth.
