A woman wanted on two outstanding warrants has been arrested and will face court today charged after allegedly vandalising police vehicles on the Central Coast.
Officers from Tuggerah Lakes Police District commenced an investigation to locate a 26-year-old woman wanted on an arrest warrant for traffic offences and a return to prison warrant for firearms and weapons offences.
Following extensive inquiries, the woman was arrested at a home in Kildare Road, Bensville, about 7pm yesterday (Thursday 26 December 2019).
Officers also executed a search warrant at the property, where they located prohibited drugs, a knuckle duster, and a knife. These items were seized to undergo forensic examination.
