Woman charged after allegedly stealing car and driving at owner

A 23-year-old Turner woman, who was subject to a good behaviour order, has been charged with assault and motor vehicle offences following an incident in August.

About 11.00pm on 9 August (2025), at a residence in Turner, a 23-year-old woman allegedly threatened a 30-year-old woman before allegedly assaulting her with a baseball bat.

Following the assault, the Turner woman allegedly stole car keys belonging to the other woman.

Police will allege the 23-year-old then drove the stolen vehicle at the other woman.

ACT Policing was informed about the incident in August and after receiving additional information last month, police attended the Turner woman’s residence and arrested her yesterday (Sunday, 30 November 2025).

The 23-year-old was charged with multiple offences, including common assault, drive motor vehicle without consent, drive with intent to menace and fail to stop and give assistance. She is expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court today (Monday, 1 December 2025).
