Around 4:40 pm, ACT Policing officers on patrol spotted a stolen red Suzuki Baleno travelling east on Hindmarsh Drive, Red Hill.
The male driver failed to stop when directed, causing police to deploy a tyre deflation device. The vehicle came to a stop a short time later before police used a taser to arrest the driver.
The 23-year-old was charged with ten offences including driving a motor vehicle without consent, driving under the influence of drugs, driving while disqualified, aggravated dangerous driving, and possession of a prohibited substance.
He will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday (25 March).
