A FATHER who did a 40-metre burnout outside Waroona police station on Christmas Day had his two daughters in the car with him at the time.

Police will allege the 34-year-old Mandurah man performed the burnout outside the cop shop about lunchtime.

An officer reversing out of the station caught him in the act and chased him.

When the officer pulled him over, they were shocked to find he had his two daughters, aged 7 and 10, in the car.

WA’s dumbest dad driver also left skid marks on the road.

The car was also packed with Christmas presents as well as the family dog.

Sergeant Jeff Taylor, from Waroona police station, was at home at the time nearby when he heard the burnout.


“We had a stolen car that we had got in the morning that we stopped on the highway, we had that parked out the front of the station,” Sgt Taylor said.

“As this guy has done the burnout, he just missed the stolen car.

“He’s 34, he should know better.


“There are two police stations there, an old one and a new one sitting side by side.


“I had just left work and I heard it from my house.

“I can’t understand why people would endanger the lives of their own children. Why would you risk it?”

Sgt Taylor said the man was “most apologetic” for what he had done.

“I don’t think (he) saw the police stations, or maybe he thought no one would be working (during) Christmas,” Sgt Taylor added.
