POLICE are seeking to identify the driver of a white Ford AU Falcon that was involved in two fail-to-stop incidents in Tuggeranong in July.
About 2.40pm on July 25, police on mobile patrol saw the vehicle deliberately lose traction as it turned from Clift Crescent onto Ashley Drive, Richardson.
Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, however the car fled the scene at speed.
About 3.40pm the same day, the vehicle was spotted travelling east on Woodcock Drive and through the roundabout onto Johnson Drive, Calwell.
Officers again attempted to conduct a traffic stop, however the car again failed to stop for police and sped away, at one point overtaking a bus on the wrong side of the road.
Police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed these fail to stop incidents, or who may be able to identify the driver or owner of the vehicle.
Anyone with information should call 1800 333000.

![Teacher Vanessa Jones has been living in Higgins since 2001, and while she loves the area, she says she is “fed up” with the neglectful ACT government.
The Higgins shops have been completely abandoned, says Vanessa, preventing the opportunity for residents to have a community-centred space to socialise.
They only received bins nine months ago, she says, and requests for a water station and repairs to the bus station have gone unanswered.
“It’s very, very slow,” says Vanessa.
“I asked for the zebra crossing on Fullagar [Crescent] to be repainted, and we had to wait about six or nine months.
“That’s just such a long time… we pay a lot of rates.”
Vanessa says assistance from the government only seems to go to communities with time-rich and assertive communities, leaving places such as Higgins, where the majority of households have both adults working full-time and English may not be the first language of the family, at an automatic disadvantage.
“If you’ve got two people working, paying a mortgage, raising two or three kids, they don’t have the time,” says Vanessa.
Vanessa says the lack of attention quieter places such as Higgins is receiving is starting to look a lot like favouritism.
