Meanwhile, a man was taken to hospital after he was struck by a vehicle full of thieves who had allegedly just broken into his home.

About 4.30am on Sunday morning, police were called to Frank St, at Marino, after reports of a break-in at a residential property.

The occupant of the home woke to find two men inside his house, stealing his property including car keys and a handbag.

He confronted the suspects and chased them outside where they got into a small red hatchback car.

As the car was leaving the property, it hit the homeowner, causing him minor injuries and smashing the front windscreen of the car.

The victim was taken to hospital by ambulance where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Patrols in the area located the red hatchback a short time later at the entrance to the quarry off Lonsdale Rd at O’Halloran Hill.

A search of the car located the stolen property which was returned to the owner.

The driver, a 33-year-old man from Morphett Vale, was arrested without incident and charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass, theft, acts to endanger life and other driving offences.

The front passenger, a 17-year-old boy from Huntfield Heights, was arrested and charged with aggravated serious criminal trespass and breach of bail.

Both males are expected to be refused police bail and will appear in court on Monday.

The other four juvenile occupants were all arrested for outstanding offences.
