ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to dangerous driving in Gungahlin after a 53-year-old man was charged with failing to stop for police last week.
About 7:10pm last Friday (2 May 2025), officers from Gungahlin Station were conducting patrols when they saw a grey Holden Captiva SUV driving dangerously on Horse Park Drive.
Police activated their lights and sirens but the driver of the Holden failed to stop, and continued driving along Horse Park Drive onto Gecko Way in Thorsby.
A short time later, the vehicle mounted the kerb and hit a light pole before coming to a stop. Officers arrested the man and he was taken to Gungahlin Police Station to undergo a Breath Analysis Test where he recorded a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) reading of 0.231 - more than four times the legal limit.
The 53-year-old man was issued with an immediate suspension notice, suspending his licence for 90 days. He will also face the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date charged with multiple driving offences.
Police are seeking witnesses or dash-cam footage of the grey Holden Captiva bearing ACT registration YNG 20L driving dangerously in the Gungahlin area.
Police are also looking for the driver of a black BMW sedan that may have been hit by the Holden on Bettong Avenue near Gecko Way.
