A short time later, police received a report of a car on its roof on Queen Elizabeth Road.

Officers established that the car had allegedly been stolen from Bottrill Street after someone entered a house and took the keys.

Bennett was later charged with two counts of burglary, one count of taking a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, two counts of driving without insurance, two counts of driving without a licence and aggravated vehicle taking.
