Yesterday afternoon, police arrested the man near the ACT Magistrates Court in the City.

He was charged with 19 instances of breaching family violence orders and is expected to face court later today.

A man and a woman have been charged after a stolen vehicle was recovered in Weston yesterday.

About 12:15pm yesterday (Tuesday, 23 September 2025) ACT Policing received a call from a member of the public, reporting a black Mercedes sedan travelling at speed through a school zone.

A short time later, police located the Mercedes parked in a carport in Weston and observed a man and a woman leaving the vehicle. Two children were also located in the rear seat of the Mercedes.

Checks on the vehicle confirmed it was reported stolen from a Forrest residence earlier this month. The Mercedes was seized for a forensic examination.

A 45-year-old Mawson man and a 48-year-old woman were subsequently arrested. The woman was also allegedly found to be in possession of items believed stolen including car keys, jewellery, mobile phones and watches.

The Mawson man was charged with ride/drive motor vehicle without consent and breach of parole. He also returned a positive roadside drug test.

The woman was charged with unlawful possession of stolen property, ride/drive motor vehicle without consent and breach of a good behaviour order. Both are expected to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today (Wednesday, 24 September 2025).

The two children were placed in emergency care.

ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to three incidents including two ram-raids overnight.

About 3.40am this morning (Tuesday, 23 September 2025), a vehicle was used to smash through the front doors of the Ainslie Football Club. CCTV showed two people entering the club and attempting to access ATMs and other equipment.

In a second incident at about 4am today, the same vehicle was used to smash glass doors at the Myer department store in Belconnen. A metal roller door behind the glass doors prevented access to the store.

About 4.40am, police observed the same vehicle outside the Bonner shops. The vehicle fled the scene with two people on board. Police believe they were attempting to access the supermarket at that location.

Police are investigating if this morning’s incidents are linked to the recent ram-raid incident in Kippax.

Police believe these incidents are targeting Canberra businesses and shopping centres, particularly those handling cash and with ATMs present. ACT Policing is reminding business operators to consider their premises security measures to deter and prevent incidents such as these that are targeting access to cash

Anyone with information about these incidents or drivers who have dash-cam footage of suspicious vehicles around the incident locations early this morning is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at www.crimestoppers.com.au.
