A 29-year-old Holt man will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning charged with multiple driving offences after he allegedly failed to stop for police in a stolen car.

On 12 September 2024, police were conducting patrols in Flynn, when they had cause to stop a Honda Accord.

Upon seeing police activate their lights in an attempt to get the Honda to stop, the driver – alleged to be the 29-year-old man – accelerated away and failed to stop.

Police then made further attempts to stop the Honda, however the man allegedly drove at the police car before mounting the curb and driving over a nearby green belt in order to evade them.

The Honda was confirmed to be stolen from a residence in New South Wales, and was later located burnt out.

On 3 October 2024, the 29-year-old is then alleged to have smashed a window of a vehicle that was parked at a gym in Bruce, and stole cash and bank cards belonging to the owner.

On 20 October 2024, he is further alleged to have broken into another vehicle that was parked at a residence in Scullin and stole the owner’s wallet containing bank cards.

About 5.15pm yesterday afternoon (Wednesday, 23 October 2024) police located the man at a shopping centre in Belconnen. He was found to be in possession of property belonging to the two owners of the vehicles he allegedly broke into in October.

The man, who was subject to a good behaviour order, has been charged with multiple offences including driving a motor vehicle without consent, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, driving while disqualified, and two counts of unlawfully possessing stolen property.

Two men will face the ACT Magistrates Court today after allegedly stealing a car from an apartment complex yesterday.

About 5.15am (Tuesday, 22 October 2024), the 33-year-old and 53-year-old men were captured on CCTV attempting to gain access to vehicles in an underground carpark of an apartment complex in Dickson.

A short time later, they gained access to a blue Kia Cerato, which they subsequently took off with.

As they were attempting to exit the carpark, a man attempted to position himself in front of the vehicle to prevent them from leaving, however they allegedly accelerated towards him and swerved, before proceeding to depart the area.

About 6.30am, the owner of the Kia Cerato contacted police to report the vehicle as stolen after noticing it was gone.

Yesterday afternoon, police were conducting patrols in the vicinity of Ainslie when they observed the two men walking in the same clothing that they were wearing in the CCTV from the morning.

Police approached the two men and located a number of items that did not belong to them, including numerous bank cards and airpods. They were subsequently arrested.

The two men were charged with several offences including joint commission aggravated burglary, and taking a motor vehicle without consent. The 33-year-old was also subject to a good behaviour order at the time.

Police are appealing to the Canberra community for assistance in locating the blue Kia Cerato sedan, bearing ACT registration YMH40L. The vehicle is suspected to be in the vicinity of Ainslie, Braddon, or the City.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the Kia is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference number 7880677.
