Last night an ACT Police car was stolen during an attempted arrest of two people who were suspected of having stolen another car.
Police had pulled the two men over, when one escaped by stealing the police car. The suspect later abandoned the police car and stole another car to avoid capture.
The second man, George George, 32, who was detained after the initial police stop was arrested and charged with riding in a stolen car. His bail was refused in a hearing this morning via video link in the ACT Magistrates Court.
All three vehicles stolen during the incident have since been recovered but Mr George’s co-accused remains on the run with a Police search underway.
