Subscriber only A soon-to-be father has avoided time behind bars after he nearly hit police and traffic controllers during a high speed drive off though Coast roadworks. Kodi Anthony Craig Heinemann drove at high speed through roadworks at the intersection of Parklands Boulevard and Sunset Drive, Little Mountain on February 8, 2020, a court heard. Police prosecutor Leonie Scott said the 18-year-old was clearly visible as the driver of the black Holden Cruze hatchback when he stopped at a traffic controller s stop sign at 8.20pm. Sergeant Scott said police were at Heinemann s window when he took off. Suddenly the driver has accelerated heavily against the stop sign displayed by the traffic controller, travelling through the intersection (and) narrowly missing police and other workers in the intersection, she said.

A grief-stricken father racked up nearly $6000 in damage when he drunkenly smashed windows of cars parked at a Coast pub.
CCTV cameras caught Colin Lloyd Gillies using a large orange bollard to smash the windows of vehicles at the Waterfront Hotel in Diddillibah on January 15.
Police prosecutor Brendan Newman said Gillies used the same bollard on the three cars.
“CCTV footage shows … (Gillies) staggering down the road walking past a Nissan X-Trail,” he said.
Sergeant Newman said Gillies picked up the orange bollard and smashed the back window.
“The defendant has then moved to the second vehicle and proceeded to smash the rear window of that vehicle with the same bollard.”
