ACT Policing arrested a 22-year-old man after a robbery in Dickson last night (Sunday, 24 February).

About 9.45pm the alleged offender approached the counter of the Coles Express Service Station, Dickson requesting cash.

He became aggressive towards the attendant who subsequently called police.

Police will allege that the offender took an item before leaving the service station.

Around 11pm police attended a residence in Lyneham where they arrested the alleged offender.

The alleged offender was conveyed to the ACT Watch House where he was charged with theft and attempted robbery. He will appear in the ACT Magistrates Court this morning.

Will I ever tire of saying ” If brains was electricity, he’d be a walking blackout”?

No he actually took an item belonging to the service station that a card swipes through (who knows why) Police came and looked at footage and he was known to the police.

Sounds like the genius left his card at the scene.
