ACT Policing is seeking witnesses and dash-cam footage of a fail to stop incident in Richardson on Tuesday, 20 June 2023.  

About 9.05am, police were parked at the corner of Dawbin Place and Hemmings Crescent, Richardson.

At this time, police observed a white Toyota Hilux utility turn onto Hemmings Crescent before accelerating away at speed past the marked police vehicle.  

Police attempted to catch up to the vehicle, which was estimated to be travelling at 80km/h in the 60km/h zone on Hemmings Crescent, before indicating for the vehicle to stop at the intersection with Laker Crescent. 

The vehicle failed to stop for police, and was observed swerving in its lane and driving erratically along Beattie Crescent, Goldstein Crescent, and Isabella Drive, including crossing onto the wrong side of Isabella Drive, narrowly avoiding a collision with another vehicle.  

Police have already spoken to a number of witnesses and collected some dash-cam footage, but would still like to speak to anyone who witnessed this incident, or who may have footage of the incident who has not yet spoken to police.
