- ACT Policing has arrested a 20-year-old Hughes man after a pursuit through Belconnen in the early hours of July 14.
Around 1am police attended the Kaleen shops in response to an alarm activation. A silver Holden Commodore sedan was observed a short distance from the shops and upon police approach immediately left the area at speed.
