1500 front Perth's Sunday court sessions

Almost 1500 people in Perth have avoided staying in police custody since the introduction of Sunday court sittings.

Between July 2014 and June this year, 1459 people have attended a Sunday court sitting at the police complex in Northbridge, the attorney-general's department says.

Of those who went to court, 351 were remanded in custody while 260 had their cases dealt with on the spot.

Another 848 were released on bail, with the majority of all cases involving men aged over 30.
