1. Stolen, drunk and on the run. A great effort by a 30 year old Spence man.
- “About 11.25pm, Tuesday, 5 August, police detected a blue coloured Nissan Pulsar travelling at speed on Anthony Rolfe Avenue, Gungahlin.
Police followed the vehicle before attempting to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle allegedly failed to stop and accelerated away from police, travelling through numerous Gungahlin residential streets before mounting a kerb.
The alleged offender then fled the vehicle and was apprehended after a short foot chase on Best Lane, Gungahlin.
The male was subsequently arrested and conveyed to the Regional City Watch house where he returned a positive breath test.
Further checks revealed the vehicle was reported stolen on Sunday, 3 August 2008.
The 30-year-old will face the ACT Magistrates Court today on charges of driving a motor vehicle without consent, drink driving and traffic offences.”
But does he have “Born to lose” tattooed on his forehead?
