Man Arrested After Two Police Cars Damaged Due In Court For A Bail Hearing

A 47-year-old man arrested after two Regional Police cars were damaged while trying to stop a vehicle is due back in court today for a bail hearing.

Brian Morris Beniot is facing a number of charges, including refusing to provide a breath sample, obstruction and resisting arrest, as well as assault with a weapon and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Police say officers tried to pull over a vehicle for a routine traffic stop on George Street in Sydney shortly before 11:00 on Saturday night.

Police chased the vehicle and say it was later found near Brickyard Road on the Louisbourg Highway.

They say that’s when two cruisers suffered minor damage.
