Arrests made but police happy with Summernats crowds

ACT Policing was generally happy with crowd behaviour both inside the Summernats venue and at the Braddon Fringe Festival between Thursday 2 and Sunday 6 January, with a significant police presence at both venues and on ACT roads.

Since Thursday, a small number of arrests have been made for matters including assault, breach of bail, failing to comply with a police direction and assault police.

Officers have also issued almost 30 ‘move on’ directions. More than 95 traffic infringement notices have been issued as well as 32 vehicle defect notices.

Three vehicles have been seized and five drivers have tested positive to illicit drugs while driving.
