1. Conder Kidnap attempt:

    ACT Policing are calling for witnesses that may have seen an attempted kidnaping in Conder today (March 30).

    About 8am, a 13-year-old girl was waiting at a bus stop on Box Hill Avenue, Conder when she was approached by a man in a white van.

    The man grabbed the girl by the sleeve and tried to force her towards his vehicle, however she managed to escape and flee the scene.

    The male is described as being Asian in appearance, about 40 to 50-years-of-age, approximately 5’3″ (160cm) tall, of skinny build with shoulder length brown hair.

2. Macgregor man on child p*rnography charges:

    Detectives from ACT Policing’s Territory Investigation Group have arrested a 53-year-old man on child pornography charges after the execution of a search warrant on his home today (March 30).

    Police executed the search warrant on the Macgregor address examining the alleged offender’s computer, locating a number of images and videos believed to contain child pornography.

    The alleged offender was arrested and will be charged and bailed from the regional watch house to appear on April 3, in the ACT Magistrates Court. He will face charges of possession of child pornography and two counts of using a carriage service for child pornography.

3. Theodore pizza mugging:

    ACT Policing is investigating an aggravated robbery in Theodore Monday March 30, 2009, which left a 19-year-old man with injuries to his head and back.

    After stopping his vehicle at an address in Burhop Close to deliver a pizza about 9.00pm, the man was approached by two females and two, possibly three males.

    He was dragged from the vehicle and assaulted before the group made off with a small amount of cash. All of the offenders were believed to be wearing hoods or balaclavas over their heads during the incident.

    The injured man was transported to The Canberra Hospital by ACT Ambulance.

Has this weak, perverted wanker been caught yet?.
My child goes to the same school that the 13yr old girl attends, they had an assembly warning the kids about this bastard.

Poor Pizza dude, I cannot believe these pieces of scum robbed and assaulted this poor fella for, well wouldn’t be anymore than $20-$50 bucks.

What the hell is happening to Canberra it’s just all death and destruction, I hope karma gets these f@*kers bad.

@#13 Hugh, I’m sure you must know someone who has a child in their mid teens. Would you like this guy hanging aroung them? And remember, Crimestoppers can be annonymous….

Colour me jaded or cynical, but that photofit looks like such an archetypal villian I would be interested in seeing if the girl had some overdue homework that she was going to be penalised for, or some bullying issues at school.

I can assure you the incident is real and the child involved is more than traumatized. Hope you dont have children if this is you attitude to such a horrifying crime.

It’s disturbing that the muggers were all dressed either in balaclavas or hoodies. Hopefully plod will get the wastes of DNA soon.

Robbing a pizza delivery driver….. How much of a total failure in life do you have to be to stoop to doing that, you just know the next 40, 50, 60 years, however many you have left, are going to be spent in a pathetic worthless existence. Hell if you’re going to turn to crime make it pay – do a bank or turn to cybercrime but doing over a Pizza Delivery Guy for $20 ???

I dont want to get drawn into this but there is a guy who looks a LOT like that who is always out walking around Conder/ Gordon.

I have laughed to myself before cause he looks like the dad one of those latino gangsters from some old boys n the hood movie.

If this gets twisted into someone telling me to call crimestoppers, I deny the whole thing…..

So you are happy to post anonymously on a forum, but not willing to pick up the phone and give information that may stop a child from being abducted?

Looks more Pacific Islander than Asian to me.

I am really glad the girl got away.

Gee, I wouldn’t like to be your daughter, I hope if your kids (if you have them) came to you for help, you would listen and act instead of ignoring it and maybe something bad happening to them.

You actually should call them to share that info.

I agree, Think of how you would feel if someone actually got taken and you didn’t say anything?

Why put obfuscation on one instance of chylde pr0n, but leave it there (twice) in the quoted police media?

Isn’t he the bad guy from ‘Ghost’?

I’m sure there’s someone out there ready to claim he’s a top bloke, none kinder – especially to 13 year old girlies.

‘m sure his mother loves him…

Boss de plane!

“You ungly son-of-a-b***c..”

Obviously its Tattoo from Fantasy Island, life must have gotten really tough when the show was cancelled and he had to make his way in the real world. He faked his death and now makes a living in the white slave trade. Ricardo Montalban would turn in his grave.
