ACT Policing wants to talk to this man, who is believed to have been involved in an incident at a Kowen Forest dance party last month.

At about 2:45 am on Sunday, 29 September, police and emergency services were called to a dance party being held in Kowen Forest where at least 20 people were robbed or assaulted.

Victims and witnesses indicated a group of men of Pacific Islander appearance attended the party in a silver van and began demanding cash and items of value from partygoers.
