ACT Policing is seeking the public’s assistance to identify a woman who was allegedly involved in the attempted theft of a car from a home in Denman Prospect on the weekend.

About 6:50am on Sunday (16 August 2026), police received reports that a woman had broken into a home in Denman Prospect and stolen car keys.

A second woman waited outside in a blue Nissan Pulsar (ACT registration YLF84V) which was reported stolen from Ngunnawal the day before.

The first woman then entered a vehicle parked in the home’s garage and attempted to steal it, but a resident followed and confronted her, forcing the woman to leave the scene in the stolen Nissan Pulsar driven by the second woman.

The first woman was arrested yesterday (Monday, 17 August 2026) in Batemans Bay and is being extradited to Canberra today (Tuesday, 18 August 2026) to face the ACT Magistrates Court.

The second woman is described as Caucasian in appearance with a fair complexion and long white-blonde hair.

Anyone who can assist police in identifying the second woman is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.  Please quote 8473021. Information can be provided anonymously.
