CCTV footage from Palmerston shops shows the man approaching a shop, taking flyers and scattering them as he appears to laugh. He then races back to a white Mitsubishi Magna.
A marked police van pulls up in the parking lot behind the Magna, which then reverses into the van before mounting the curb and driving away.
The collision occurred at about 9.30pm on Wednesday 19 April in the parking lot at the Palmerston shops.
The man police wished to speak to was described as Caucasian in appearance with a thin build and fair complexion. He was wearing a blue hooded jumper, black shorts and black Nike sandals with grey socks.
ACT Policing urged anyone who may recognise the man, the vehicle or diver to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
