ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an attempted aggravated robbery at the Duffy supermarket this afternoon (Saturday, October 22).

Around 2.45pm today, a man entered the supermarket and threatened staff with a knife.

He made demands for money but was rebuffed and the offender then ran from the premises empty-handed.

The offender is described as around 188cm (6’2”) tall, with a medium build. He is believed to be aged in his mid to late 20s. He was wearing dark pants, and a dark jumper with a white motif. He was disguised by a beanie and a bandanna over his face.

Anyone who may have been in the area at the time of the incident and may have seen a person answering to this description, or can provide any other information which may assist the investigation, is urged to contact

Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
