Three to face court on multiple charges

Three people will face the ACT Magistrates Court today, after their arrest following an aggravated burglary in Ainslie yesterday (Tuesday, 28 January 2020).

Police will allege that during the burglary, a residence was ransacked and a Mercedes was stolen. The vehicle was subsequently tracked and located by police a short time later near the Gungahlin Town Centre.

It will be further alleged that the Mercedes and a Holden Commodore failed to stop for police.

Both vehicles were located in a parkland area in Fyshwick, where police observed what they believed to be stolen property being transferred between the vehicles.  

A 20-year-old man has been charged with aggravated burglary, driving a motor vehicle without consent, fail to stop, and theft.

A 32-year-old Watson man has been charged with aggravated burglary, and theft.

A 30-year-old man has been charged with three counts of driving while disqualified, three counts of using a number plate not properly issued, two counts of driving a motor vehicle without consent, possession of stolen property, possession of a drug of dependence, and warrant offences.

ACT Policing anticipates further charges will be laid against other people.
