POLICE fired a Taser gun at the driver of a van during a pursuit through the streets of a West Australian city.

The court's reason was that Taser's X26 stun gun inflicts more pain than other 'non-lethal' options. An uncooperative 11-year-old or an abusive driver, the trite observation that power. The PhaZZer® Enforcer Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) is a less lethal Law Enforcement-level self defense weapon that provides similar effective take down power as any Electronic Control Device (ECD) but offers many enhancements over the TASER® X26 and M26. This makes the Enforcer the weapon of choice for Government, Law Enforcement, Security and Civilian sectors.

Police spokesman Sergeant Graham Clifford said a 17-year-old Port Hedland youth had led his pursuers on a wild chase through Geraldton after allegedly stealing the van and crashing into other vehicles and buildings.
As he headed for the Lester St nightclub in Geraldton's centre at about 12.30am today, police pulled up next to the driver and fired their stun gun through the window.
No one was injured when the vehicle, which was travelling between 15km/h and 20km/h, then crashed into a building near the nightclub.
Sgt Clifford said the teenager was alleged to have stolen a forklift earlier in the night to try to break into a liquor warehouse.
After allegedly stealing the van, the teen had driven the wrong way around a roundabout, crashing into police and other cars, he said.
With its rear tyres shredded, the van then struck a Thai restaurant before heading towards the nightclub, Sgt Clifford said.
He said the officers pursuing him had to think quickly to avoid a tragedy, as the driver had obviously not been prepared to stop.
Inspector George Macintosh said police would hold an internal review of the incident, as a matter of procedure.
Under police guidelines, any use of force is reviewed as a matter of course, he said.
The youth has been charged with stealing a motor vehicle, burglary with intent, reckless driving, driving with an alcohol level in excess of 0.08, driving without a licence and failing to stop.
