ACT Policing is seeking witnesses and dash-cam footage after a white Skoda failed to stop for police in the City last night.
About 10.20pm, police had cause to stop the white Skoda Octavia bearing ACT registration YPD69W on Lonsdale Street, Braddon.
When they activated their emergency lights, the vehicle took off down the footpath on Lonsdale Street, before turning onto Girrawheen Street.
A short time later, police observed the vehicle driving at speed on Torrens Street, Braddon. Police once again attempted to stop the Skoda, however the driver entered the wrong side of the road in order to evade police.
The Skoda continued along Cooyong Street, swerving between vehicles, before stopping at a red light behind two civilian's cars.
As police approached the Skoda, the vehicle took off, scraping the side of one of the civilian’s cars in the process.
The white Skoda was located a short time later at Goodwin Gardens in Ainslie, however the occupants took off prior to police arrival.
Police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the incident, or who may have information in relation to the occupants of the vehicle.
Anyone who can assist is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference number 7895786. Information can be provided anonymously.
