A police spokesperson said the vehicle was subsequently intercepted by members.

"During this interaction, police seized cannabis from the accused who was then arrested," they said.

"The 29-year-old male was charged with possessing cannabis, committing and indictable offence whilst on bail and exceeding the 40 KM/H limit when passing emergency vehicles."

The spokesperson said police members at Stawell were highly proactive, out and about across the response zone throughout the day and night.
