Constable Greay became suspicious when be noticed three teenage girls drive through town in a black Holden sedan and on an impulse decided to follow them. A few miles from Quairading Bob came upon the Holden off the side of the road.
Stopping to offer assistance he first noticed the car had no ignition keys and after asking the three girls a few questions made an arrest.
Local policeman Frank Brynes then took charge of the situation.
The three girls, all juveniles, were under the care of the Child Welfare Dept. and had driven the stolen Holden from Perth.

Sincere condolences to Luba and family. I worked with Bob for various periods at both Fremantle and Perth CIB and his support in my career was invaluable. HE was a figurehead to many a young Detective, respected and most of all a loyal friend. Sadly missed but leaving behind a treasure of wonderful memories.. RIP Bob.
