A 23-year-old man and a 24-year old woman will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning (Thursday, 26 April 2018) in relation to stolen motor vehicle and other offences.
About 1.40pm on Tuesday, 24 April 2018, ACT Policing observed a silver coloured Nissan Skyline in the suburb of Lyneham. When recognising the vehicle as reported stolen, police followed the vehicle.

The man will appear on five charges including riding or driving in a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, attempting to escape from arrest, driving while disqualified and drug offences.
The woman will appear on four charges including riding or driving in a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, and unlawful possession of stolen property.
