Police Air Wing officers recently had a ‘light’ surprise when they were patrolling around Rockingham in the early hours of the morning
At around 12:30 in the morning on Wednesday the seventeenth of July
The laser light was tracked by the officers in the helicopter to a Warnbro resident’s backyard
Police from Rockingham went to the home and searched it

The man faces summons due to the use of the laser light
as he ‘cause[d] fear or alarm with laser or light to people in conveyances or others’
A spokesperson from WA Police stated that aiming a laser light at planes and helicopters is a major no-no
advertisement
“Pointing a laser light at any aircraft is a highly dangerous act and requires the pilot of the aircraft to take evasive action to keep them and their crew safe,” said the spokesperson
“Laser lights not only light up the cabin of a plane or helicopter
but can temporarily blind the pilot which puts everyone onboard in real danger
“There are serious penalties for this offence
with several people previously found guilty in court of such offences being fined $10,000.”

Link copiedShareShare articleA man has been arrested by police after a pedestrian was killed in a hit-and-run crash in Perth's southern suburbs overnight.
WA Police said a car struck two people on Torbay Mews in Warnbro around 1:30am before the motorist drove off.
A man aged in his 40s died at the scene while another man aged in his 30s was taken to Royal Perth Hospital in a serious condition.
Less than two hours later, officers located the vehicle believed to have been involved in the crash and arrested the driver, more than 40 kilometres away.
"After 3:10am police located a 36-year-old man and a Ford Falcon in North Dandalup," a police spokesman said.
"He has been taken into custody and is currently assisting with inquiries."
Homicide detectives returned to the scene of the crash in Warnbro this morning as they investigated the man's death.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
Perth man James Reynolds’ relationships were volatile with most people in his life: his girlfriend
the 23-year-old attended a family barbecue at Kwinana Beach and became drunk and verbally aggressive
His friend called an Uber to take him back to his Warnbro home
Duke Edis (left) has admitted to killing his housemate James Reynolds (right) in 2022
Hours later one of his housemates shot Reynolds in what the housemate’s lawyer described as “excessive” self-defence
ultimately fatal bullet from an unlicensed rifle into Reynolds’ thigh as Reynolds stood outside his bedroom with a knife
The violent climax followed Edis trying several times to defuse Reynolds’ aggression by retreating to his room and asking another housemate to remove him
Reynolds kicked the locked door open and brandished a knife at Edis
During his manslaughter sentencing in the Supreme Court of Western Australia on Tuesday
Edis’ lawyer Simon Freitag SC claimed his client threatened Reynolds with a machete
in an attempt to get him to leave his room
Reynolds continued shouting at Edis to “stab me
and ran from the house with the weapon wrapped in bedsheets
Upon hearing the shot being fired other people in the house
later hiding the rifle under the bed at another person’s house
Keddie returned to the Warnbro home a short time later and threw the machete and magazine case on the roof before messaging Reynolds’ girlfriend and telling her to go and check on him and take him to hospital
she followed a trail of blood and found Reynolds slumped in the laundry asking for water
He lost consciousness shortly afterwards and died in hospital the next day from blood loss
Edis handed himself in to police that same day
he admitted shooting Reynolds in an act of self-defence and told detectives Keddie had informed him that when she returned to the house shortly after the incident
she had tended to Reynolds and stopped his bleeding
Lawyer Freitag said Edis could have responded in a less excessive way
but claimed his client’s autism spectrum disorder impacted his ability to effectively navigate the threatening situation
“We accept that ultimately there may have been other options open to him other than a single shot to the leg,” he said
but we already know that the deceased had been in the room and threatened Mr Edis and his puppy
“The deceased was in a situation where he may have been dismayed by a warning shot; we’ll never know
Freitag said while it was an aggravating factor against Edis to leave the house without seeking medical assistance for Reynolds
and belief that he was in danger when he fired the rifle
should make him eligible for a lighter sentence than typically given to those who plead guilty to manslaughter
Freitag asked Justice Anthony Derrick consider sentencing Edis to a four-year prison term meaning with time served
he could be released on parole immediately
After considering the matter over two days
Derrick sentenced Edis to four years and six months jail
and made him eligible for parole after two-and-a-half years
who was sentenced for being an accessory after the fact
was given an 18-month suspended prison term and placed on a supervision order

Under the Constitutional and Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Equality) Act 2021
the number of electors in each district must not exceed 33,475 or be lower than 27,389 electors
Mandurah's high elector population of 33,736 has prompted the Commission to adjust the district's boundaries to reduce that number
They have proposed to transfer the localities of Madora Bay and Lakelands from the district of Mandurah to Warnbro

The Commission will also propose to transfer parts of the northern localities of Baldivis and Warnbro to the district of Baldivis
As the locality of Warnbro will no longer be in the district
the Commissioners are also proposing to rename the district to Secret Harbour
Significant population growth in Baldivis has led the Commissioners to propose a large section of the locality
to move to the districts of Darling Range and Kwinana
Oakford will absorb the localities of Anketell
