ACT Policing is seeking witnesses after a man was robbed by two men last night in Belconnen.
Around 10pm the victim was walking along the cycle path which runs behind Ranken Place when he was approached by two men of African appearance.
As the men approached the victim, one of them produced a knife and made threats. The victim handed over a sum of cash and was not harmed during the robbery.
The men were last seen running along the cycle path towards the intersection of Luxton Street and Lathlain Street, Belconnen.
The two men can be described as African in appearance, both approximately 5’9” (175cm) in height with slim builds. At the time of the incident both men were wearing black ‘hoodies’ and black pants.
Anyone who may have witnessed the aggravated robbery or has knowledge which may assist police in identifying the two men is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
