Police are asking the public for any dashcam footage of a dangerous driving incident in southern Canberra.

An ACT Policing spokesperson said officers spotted the dark grey or black hatchback on the Tuggeranong Parkway at around 9:15 pm on Thursday (2 January).

Officers saw the car driving erratically and at significant speed in the southbound lanes of the parkway towards Kambah.

“The hatchback was not pursued due to the risk posed to other road users, and police are now seeking community assistance to identify the vehicle and driver,” the police spokesperson said.

Anyone with dashcam footage of the hatchback on the Tuggeranong Parkway at about 9:15 pm on Thursday is urged to contact police.

You can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the  Crime Stoppers ACT website. Quote 7942457.

This incident follows the first person allegedly caught driving with cocaine in their system in the ACT, following the introduction of laws that made it possible for police to charge people with such an offence.

The 19-year-old P-plater allegedly tested positive to the drug on New Year’s Day (1 January), just eight hours after enforcement activities began.
