Police seeking witnesses to traffic incidents on Monday involving a white van

About 1pm on Monday, 12 February 2018, a late model, white van was observed driving erratically through the northern suburbs of Canberra.

Soon after, the van drove through the City bus interchange narrowly missing pedestrians and then onto London Circuit, nearly causing a collision with two vehicles, before turning right onto Northbourne Avenue.

The white van then proceeded north on Northbourne Avenue, narrowly missing pedestrians on the corner of Alinga Street, before turning towards Bruce where the driver was apprehended by Police.

The man was arrested and charged with multiple driving offences and after appearing in court on Tuesday (13 February 2018) was remanded in custody.
