A person was in their home in Palmerston late on Friday night (24 February) when a vehicle crashed into the building.
Officers were alerted to the incident around 10:20 and when they arrived at the scene they found the homeowner had been inside, but hadn’t been injured in the incident, ACT Policing said.
The alleged vehicle and its owner were spotted 100 metres away from the residence. Officers said this owner appeared to be highly intoxicated and allegedly refused to take a roadside screening test or say who had been driving at the time of the crash.
Police believe two others had also been in the vehicle at the time of the crash, but they had already fled the scene.
“ACT Fire & Rescue attended the home to make it safe and police seized the vehicle for forensic testing,” police said.
The owner of the vehicle was arrested and charged with refusing to undergo a screening test and failing to provide a breath sample.
Police are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact them through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Quote reference number 7361655.
