About 7.00 pm on Saturday (14 July 2024), officers detected a vehicle travelling at 133km/h in the posted 80km/h speed zone along Belconnen Way in Bruce.

The vehicle was stopped and the driver was issued multiple infringement notices, including for speeding in excess of 45km/h over the speed limit. Their licence was immediately suspended for a period of 90 days.

In a separate incident, a 17-year-old NSW resident will face multiple charges in both the ACT and NSW after they engaged in a series of dangerous cross border driving incidents.

Shortly after 10:30pm on Saturday, NSW Police observed a silver Ford wagon (that had words spray painted on it and was in poor repair) driving dangerously through Queanbeyan. The vehicle failed to stop for NSW Police before entering the ACT where it was observed driving at excessive speed through multiple suburbs.

About 10:50pm the Ford wagon lost control and struck a gutter at the intersection of Jim Pyke Avenue and Point Hut Road in Gordon before two occupants fled the vehicle and were apprehended by police.

Police will allege that the 17-year-old driver, whose NSW provisional driver licence was already suspended, drove the vehicle in a dangerous manner. Other charges will relate to driving an unregistered and unsafely maintained vehicle and driving while licence suspended.

The 17-year-old will face both ACT and NSW Courts at later date in relation to this incident.

ACT Policing and New South Wales continue to work closely in targeting antisocial driving.
