ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to the robbery of a 40-year-old man in Macquarie last night (Monday, November 4).

About 11.00pm the man was walking home from the Jamison Centre after shopping for groceries. While he was walking along Halloran Close, near the Belconnen West Tennis Club, the offender approached him and struck him on his face. The man fell to the ground and the offender removed the victim’s wallet from his rear pants pocket.

The offender then fled in the direction of Belconnen Way.

The victim returned to his home and contacted police, who attended the location.

The offender was described as wearing a white short sleeved shirt and dark pants.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
