At 1:30pm (10 minutes ago as I write this), what appeared to be a blue/grey late 80s model Magna came flying down Chandler St and turned, tires squealing and smoking, onto Benjamin Way in front of Belconnen Mall. The car was pursued by two unmarked Police cars into the Westfield multistorey carpark, with a third (marked) police car following along Chandler Street about 20 seconds later.
The perpetrators showed a marked disregard for human life by driving dangerously through an area heavy with lunch-time pedestrian traffic. One wonders if this was a deliberate ploy to increase the chances of the pursuing police calling off the chase.
Anyone else observe this? Presumably the full story will eventually become public.
