ACT Policing is seeking the public’s assistance to identify a rideshare driver who may have transported several men believed to be involved in an incident at a Kowen Forest dance party. 
 
About 2:45am on Sunday 29 September, police and emergency services were called to a dance party being held in the Kowen Forest.

While police have identified a group of suspects, anyone who can assist police in relation to this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Quote 7862603. Information can be provided anonymously.
