After a short foot chase police apprehended the driver and he was taken the ACT Watch House.
The man was charged with a range of traffic offences including failure to stop, driving while disqualified and driving with the incorrect number plates attached to the vehicle. He was released on Watch House bail and will be summonsed to court at a later date.
