Both men were bailed to appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court at a later date.
In a second incident, about 4pm on Tuesday 25 May on Lander Road at Sheidow Park, a maroon Nissan Patrol four-wheel-drive was seen trying to drive up a steep embankment spraying dirt and debris onto the road. The four-wheel-drive then conducted a sustained wheel spin before driving off.
A 19-year-old man from Woodcroft was reported on Wednesday 26 May for misuse of a motor vehicle and driving in a dangerous manner. His car was impounded for 28 days and the driver will be summonsed to appear before the Christies Beach Magistrates Court at a later date.
