A driver who allegedly did not stop for police on two separate occasions in Tuggeranong is wanted by police.

ACT Policing asked for public assistance to find the driver of a white Ford AU Falcon allegedly connected to the July incidents.

Officers on mobile patrol about 2.40pm on July 25 allege they saw the car "deliberately" lose traction while turning from Clift Crescent onto Ashley Drive in Richardson.

The officers tried to do a traffic stop, but the vehicle allegedly fled the scene at speed.
