THREE men are heading to court after being separately arrested for driving unregistered vehicles while disqualified. They collectively face 22 charges.

1. A 38-year-old Gungahlin man was arrested at the town centre on Friday afternoon after police spotted a maroon BMW with no rear number plate and a paper, hand-drawn front plate reading “PERM1T”.

The vehicle had been unregistered since January 2022 and the driver’s licence was disqualified.

The man was also charged with the alleged theft of a motor scooter from Turner in November.

He has been charged with driving an unregistered vehicle, and an uninsured vehicle, driving a motor vehicle without consent, two counts of disqualified driving, using a number plate not properly issued, unlawful possession of stolen property, unlicenced driving, and use of a plate calculated to deceive.

2. Late Friday afternoon police in Belconnen spotted a blue Holden Commodore with stolen number plates. The 42-year-old driver was arrested for possession of stolen property. Checks discovered the man’s licence had been disqualified in 2005 and the vehicle had been unregistered since May 2021.

During a search of the vehicle, police located another stolen number plate.

He faces two counts of unlawful possession of stolen property, disqualified driving, driving an unregistered vehicle, and an uninsured vehicle, and using a number plate not properly issued.

1. About 12.15am Saturday police attempted to stop a black Honda motorcycle in McKellar. The bike was spotted six minutes later in Spofforth Street, Holt, where the rider again failed to stop, and a short time later on Parkwood Road, where he lost control in a paddock.

Police have confirmed the motorcycle was unregistered, uninsured, and had a number plate issued to another vehicle. The rider, a 29-year-old Crestwood (NSW) man, was found to be disqualified from holding a licence until May 2026. Police will also allege the man was in possession of approximately 1 gram of methylamphetamine.

The man, who was arrested while on bail, faces charges of failing to stop for police, disqualified driving, driving an unregistered vehicle, and an uninsured vehicle, possession of a drug of dependence, and using a number plate not properly issued.
