One arrested as three cars stolen from Harrison residence

ACT Policing has arrested one man and is searching for two other offenders after the theft of three cars from a residence in Harrison early this morning Saturday, 16 April. 

Police responded to a report of three men acting suspiciously in Ebor Lane, Harrison about 2.10am.  

As the officers arrived three vehicles, a blue BMW 118i, a red Audi A3 and a grey Audi S3 were seen leaving the area at speed.  

The driver of the blue BMW attempted to evade ACT Policing stop sticks, and in doing so collided with a light rail stop on Flemington Road in Mitchell. The man attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended by police nearby.  

The 40-year-old Coombs man will face the ACT magistrates court this morning charged with taking a motor vehicle without consent, two counts of joint commission of taking a motor vehicle, unlicenced driving, unlawful possession of stolen property, driving a motor vehicle without consent and reckless driving.  

ACT Policing’s investigation into this incident is continuing, and police urge anyone who witnessed, or whose CCTV system captured any suspicious activity in Harrison in the early hours of this morning to contact police. 

Anyone who saw, or has dashcam footage of, the red or grey Audi sedans being driven after 2am today is also urged to contact police by calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the website. 

Information can be provided anonymously. Please quote reference number 7084841.
