A 22-year-old Holt man will face 10 separate charges in the ACT Magistrates Court today (24 August), including threatening to kill a person, following a burglary in Gordon last week.
ACT Policing will allege the man was one of three armed offenders who entered a unit on Matson Street in Gordon at about 3:00 am on Wednesday, 12 August.
They threatened the occupant and stole a number of items, including a black Mazda CX5, before fleeing the scene.
Police later located the stolen vehicle burnt out in Symonston.
Enquiries also revealed a white Kia Sportage bearing NSW registration in the area at the time of the offence. The vehicle was later found in McKellar. Further examination revealed a number of stolen items and prohibited weapons inside.
The Holt man has been charged with a range of charges including firearm, theft, arson offences and recklessly threatening to kill a person.
