Police confirmed the car was stolen from a Forrest residence earlier this month and seized it for forensic examination.

The man was charged with riding/driving a motor vehicle without consent and breaching parole. He also returned a positive roadside drug test.

The woman was charged with unlawful possession of stolen property, riding/driving a motor vehicle without consent and breaching a good behaviour order.
