Hoon car grabbed again

ACT Policing has seized a car for the second time in four months yesterday, after it was seen doing a burnout in a car park off Florey Drive.

About 4.40pm police saw the black V8 Holden Calais doing a burnout in Latham. When police caught up to the car, the driver of the car jumped out of the vehicle and ran off.

A 19-year-old man, who was the owner of the car, remained in the front passenger’s seat.

The driver, a 21-year-old Charnwood man, later returned to the car and admitted to having driven the car during the burnout.

The car was transported to the Exhibit Management Centre where it will be held until the case is heard in court.

The driver will be summonsed to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date.

The car was seized by police for a similar offence in October.
