A 28-year-old man was arrested following an aggravated robbery in Canberra’s north last night (Monday, March 26).
About 7.30pm a woman was leaving the Florey Shopping Centre when she was approached by a man. The man demanded cash while pointing a knife towards the woman. The woman handed the man a sum of cash after which he walked back towards the shopping centre.
A short time later police attended the Florey Shopping Centre and located the alleged offender. He was subsequently arrested and taken to the ACT Watch House.
He will face the ACT Magistrates Court today where he will be charged with aggravated robbery and possess offensive weapon with intent.
