A 39-year-old man has been extradited from South Australia to face perjury and other charges after allegedly providing false documents in court.

In 2020, police began an investigation into the man after he stole approximately $40,000 from a travel agency he was employed by.

The man pleaded guilty to burglary and theft offences in June 2023 and was scheduled to appear before court multiple times for sentencing.

Police allege the man provided false medical documents and information to delay his sentencing proceedings.

On Tuesday (12 August 2025), South Australian Police arrested the man at his home in Mount Barker.

Yesterday (Thursday, 14 August 2025), investigators from ACT Policing’s Major Crime Squad extradited him to the ACT.

He is expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court today (Friday, 15 August 2025), charged with four counts of perverting the course of justice, two counts of perjury, and giving false or misleading information.

A 45-year-old Greenway man will face court today charged with drug trafficking offences after search warrants were executed in Greenway and Duffy yesterday.

In April (2025), officers from Tuggeranong Police Station began an investigation into the man’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking and participating in a criminal group in the ACT.

Yesterday (Wednesday, 13 August 2025), officers executed search warrants on a vehicle and at residences in Greenway and Duffy where police seized:

• Ammunition
• Knuckle dusters
• Drug paraphernalia
• Prescription drugs
• Approximately 28.5 grams of methylamphetamines
• Approximately 27.5 grams of heroin
• Approximately $860
• Paperwork believed to track his drug sales

The estimated street value of the seized drugs is approximately $30,000.

Police will allege the man has an ongoing customer base who rely on his supply of drugs.

The man – who was subject to good behaviour obligations from previous court convictions – was charged with two counts of drug trafficking, possessing a prohibited weapon, possession of ammunition, possessions of a declared substance without authorisiation and possession of property suspected of being proceeds of crime.

He is expected to appear before the ACT Magistrates Court today (Thursday, 14 August 2025).

A 28-year-old man has been extradited from NSW after failing to appear before court on a child sex offence charge.

The man was arrested in December 2024 after he allegedly sexually assaulted a child known to him.

He was charged with committing an act of indecency on a child under 10 and was bailed to appear before court in June 2025.

After he failed to appear, a warrant for his arrest was issued and in August, police identified he was living on the NSW south coast.

A 34-year-old Lyons man has been arrested following a pursuit through Weston Creek early today.

About 4.20am this morning (Wednesday, 27 August 2025) police were patrolling Waramanga when they encountered a silver Holden Commodore sedan. The driver of the Commodore failed to stop for police and a pursuit was commenced.

During the pursuit, the Commodore crossed to the wrong side of the road, exceeded the speed limit and repeatedly drove without headlights. Police deployed stop sticks and the Commodore eventually came to a stop after colliding with a Stop sign near Cooleman Court. The vehicle was driving on its rims when it collided with the sign.

A 34-year-old Lyons man, who was subject to an arrest warrant by the Sentencing Administration board, was subsequently arrested nearby.  A female passenger was also arrested at the scene.

The man was charged with aggravated reckless driving, driving while disqualified and failure to stop for police. He is expected to face court later today.

Police have seized drugs, ammunition and a modified firearm following the arrest of a man last Friday in Acton.

About 7am on Friday (22 August 2025), officers from City Police Station were conducting patrols in Acton when they observed a white Fiat 500 driving on a bicycle path.

A vehicle check indicated that the Fiat was reported stolen. Officers activated their lights and sirens, however the vehicle failed to stop.

A short time later, police lost sight of the man when he exited the Fiat and entered the driver’s seat of a white Mazda 3. About 7:30am, police located the man in Acton and he was arrested a short time later in a parking complex.

Soon after, police located a backpack the man had allegedly discarded that contained drugs, cash and tools.

The man – who was subject to bail conditions for drug trafficking at the time of his arrest – was charged with failing to stop for police, drive motor vehicle without consent, resist arrest, drug trafficking and going equipped for theft.

Yesterday (Sunday, 24 August 2025) a search warrant was conducted on a black Mercedes linked to the man. Officers from ACT Criminal Investigations subsequently located approximately 590 grams of heroin, approximately 170 grams of methylamphetamine, 200 12-gauge shot gun cartridges and a sawn-off .22 calibre rifle.

The man will face additional charges in relation to the seized drugs, ammunition and firearm.

This is a significant disruption to the sale of thousands of ‘hits’ of illicit drugs in the ACT.  The ACT saw more than 20 deaths last year believed to be as a result of opioids including heroin. ACT Policing will continue to work to identify and charge those individuals and groups seeking to profit from the misery that illicit drugs can bring.

Anyone who has information relating to the sale and distribution of illicit drugs in the ACT is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.  Information can be provided anonymously.
