Two suspects have been arrested after crashing into a Stobie pole and street sign at Waterloo Corner.
About 7.20am Thursday 25 June, police spotted a Volkswagen sedan displaying homemade number plates on Barton Crescent, Burton.
The driver allegedly sped off and after a short pursuit, lost control of the car and crashed into a Stobie pole and a street sign on Waterloo Corner Road.
A search of the driver allegedly located a quantity of tablets and a small bottle of liquid, both suspected to be drugs.

He was refused police bail and will appear at Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Friday 26 June.
The passenger, a 35-year-old Burton woman, was arrested and charged with failing to answer questions to identify the driver and carrying a prohibited weapon, after a large knife was allegedly found in her waistband. She was bailed to appear at Elizabeth Magistrates Court on 5 August.
Investigations are continuing into the VW sedan.
