POLAIR DESTINED FOR NEWCASTLE

The Hunter’s police will be able to call for help from above this month, with Polair – the police airwing – to be based at Newcastle for a special patrol.

A helicopter will cover commands from Swansea to Scone between January 12 and 15.

Polair was recently used in the region to help end a high-speed chase, and in the search for the state’s most wanted man, Malcolm Naden.

Police say, during the local patrols, it’ll also be used to combat break and enters, drug activity and anti-social behaviour.
