ACT Policing has responded to an incident in the Tuggeranong region this afternoon following a dangerous driving incident.
About 1.10pm today (Friday, 9 August 2024) police observed a white BMW hatchback, which was reportedly stolen from a residence in Yarralumla this morning, driving dangerously along Mugga Lane.
A short time later, the vehicle was observed conducting a burnout and driving dangerously near Calwell High School.
The vehicle stopped shortly after, and following a short foot pursuit, police located and arrested two teenage boys.
Two other males fled the scene, and one was later seen running through the school grounds of St Francis of Assisi Primary School.
As a precaution, both schools were placed into lockdown.
A search confirmed that neither of the two males wanted by police were located in either of the schools.
Police are continuing to circulate nearby suburbs in an effort to locate the remaining offenders.
Police would urge anyone with information in relation to the identity and whereabouts of the males to contact 131 444.
Anyone who witnessed the BMW driving dangerously, including anyone who may have dash-cam footage, or who has any information in relation to this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference number P2275373.
