Subscriber only Two general duties police officers have been called gazelles after they spotted, chased and caught a man who was wanted to assist with inquiries on weapons and theft matters. Richmond Police District Acting Inspector Mary Tanner said the man was wanted to assist police in a matter where he is alleged to have threatened a man with a knife and stolen his scooter earlier this month. Act Insp Tanner said the two officers were on patrol in Casino shortly after midnight on Friday when they spotted the man, 31. At 12.30am today the officers jumped out of their car like a couple of gazelles and took after the man when he ran from them, she said.
