NSW: Crush street racers' cars: Moroney

NSW Police Minister DAVID CAMPBELL says he hasn't ruled out a suggestion by NSW's top
cop to crush hoons' cars.

POlice Commissioner KEN MORONEY was incredulous after police charged and disqualified
a driver and a P-plater over an alleged street race in St Marys early this morning.

A 17-year-old boy from Kingswood and 21-year-old ABDUL El-LAWN .. from Busby .. were
arrested after police observed them allegedly racing side-by-side on the Great Western
Highway.

Mr MORONEY says the message of responsible driving campaigns doesn't seem to be getting
through to car hoons.

He says extreme measures might be needed to stamp out illegal street racing .. and
says the solution to the problem could be compacting the vehicles into a cube .. and dropping
them on the front lawn of the drivers' homes.

The 17-year-old .. charged with taking part in a vehicle race .. has been granted bail
to appear at Penrith Local Court on 27 August.

Police are yet to charge a second man allegedly involved in the incident.
