A KOONGAMIA man (36) dropped off his daughter (8) while the Holden utility they were in was being chased by police from Belmont to St Vincent Road , Wembley about 10pm last Sunday

It will be alleged the utility failed to stop in Belmont, ran a red light on Roe Highway when initially being pursued, and avoided stinger tyre traps in Kings Park.

The man was able to avoid the pursuit long enough to drop off his daughter at a property on Lake Monger Drive, Wembley.
