Police located two vehicles believed to be involved in the burglaries travelling together in the Gungahlin area. Both vehicles had earlier been reported as stolen. Police followed both the vehicles but lost sight of them near Northbourne Avenue, heading towards the city.
A shortly time later both vehicles were located outside an address in Ainslie but fled the address when police arrived. Police activated warning lights and siren and engaged the vehicles in two separate pursuits.

One of the vehicles was later found abandoned in Ainslie. The other vehicle, a purple Ford Festiva, is still outstanding.
