AN 18-year-old man was arrested and his car seized by police early today after police pursued a Holden Commodore at speeds of 140km/h in Maddington.
Major Incident Group police spotted the Commodore about 3.30am as it accelerated along Tonkin Highway and they followed the vehicle with their emergency lights and siren turned on.
The driver then left Tonkin Highway at Thomas Rd and travelled onto the South West and Brookton highways until the Commodore's engine started to emit smoke and mechanical failure brought the car to a halt.
Police then arrested the driver.
The Holden was impounded for 48 hours and the 18-year-old Martin man was charged with reckless driving and failing to stop for police.
He will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
Since the Hoon Legislation was enacted in September 2004, WA police have seized 1900 vehicles throughout the State.
