ACT Policing has arrested a 17-year-old South Canberra juvenile who allegedly attacked and robbed a group of young people at the skate park in Weston in December 2010.

Police will also allege that the young man was responsible for a serious assault in Erindale on December 29, 2010 in which he punched a young woman which resulted in her jaw being broken.

Crime Investigation Detectives had identified the young man as a key suspect in these incidents and have been actively seeking him.

This morning (Monday, January 24), Tuggeranong General Duties officers attended a residence in Sid Barnes Crescent, Gordon, where the 17-year-old was found hiding in the roof of the garage.

The young man was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of possess offensive weapon with intent and two counts of assault related offences. The young man is expected to face the ACT Childrens Court later today.

I have no idea who Sid Barnes is but it’s the kind of name which conjures up images of a Minder or Sweeney type East End gangster.

Good work fuzz!

And what’s wrong with Sid Barnes farnarkler? I don’t remember him breaking any girls jaws with his cricket bat.

“I’m a stinking little turd,
who goes around punching birds,
and then I cower and hide, cos I’ve got no balls
when the long arm of the law finally comes to call.”

Okay – I’m betting he’ll get a 9-year suspended sentence and 30secs community service…..

I’m sure he’ll get the wrist slap that he deserves.

Another $50 fine! What will we do with all this money?

Although he’ll probably just get sent to bed without his supper and be told to be a good boy from now on.

Sid Barnes crescent? Sounds like just the place for a criminal.

“Hiding in the roof of the Garage” pretty well sums up the little cockroach, he doesnt even have the balls to front up when the law comes looking for him.

The young man is expected to face the ACT Childrens Court later today.

Hmm.
