ACT Policing Criminal Investigations were travelling on Athllon Drive when they attempted to stop a blue Ford Telstar around 1.50pm.
The driver failed to stop and police initiated a pursuit, following the blue Ford which drove through a red light at the intersection of Athllon Drive and Mawson Drive, colliding with another car.
The blue Ford then fled the scene of the collision, travelling along Ainsworth Street where it lost its rear bumper before driving through a second red light at the intersection of Hindmarsh Drive and Ainsworth Street.
Officers then decided to terminate the pursuit, which lasted for approximately two and a half minutes and reached a maximum speed of 120km/hr.
Police are urging witnesses to the collision or anyone who has seen a blue Ford Telstar missing a rear bumper in the Mawson area to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers website on www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.
