Police are seeking the public’s assistance to identify the driver of a Volkswagen who fled an RBT and evaded police in December.

About 9pm on Friday, 27 December 2024, police were conducting random breath testing on Parkes Way, Acton, when they directed the male driver of a gold Volkswagen Touareg with ACT registration YLJ63L, to pull over.

The driver refused to stop and a pursuit began along Parkes Way and the Tuggeranong Parkway, with the man reaching a speed of approximately 150km/h during the incident.

The pursuit was terminated a short time later and the vehicle was last seen on Cotter Road heading in the direction of Molonglo Valley.

The vehicle was towing a trailer with a roof tiling crane at the time and was also captured on cameras bearing ACT registration YPL10A.

Police are appealing for anyone who has seen the Volkswagen Touareg or knows the identity of the driver, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestoppers.com.au. Please quote reference number 7937091.
