Tap and go: Bank cards, car allegedly stolen in weekend crime spree

Police are looking for two men who drove a stolen car around north Canberra during a payWave crime spree.

Officers are investigating the series of incidents that allegedly occurred in the early hours of Sunday, August 13.

It is alleged the men entered a house in Fraser about 1am and stole bank cards and a vehicle. The cards were then allegedly used throughout Gungahlin and Belconnen.

Police said the same men are believed to have attended another house in Fraser about 4am that same morning. They allegedly knocked on the front door to lure the occupant outside. The door was not answered and the men allegedly left in the stolen vehicle.
