Never underestimate the power of a whinge on RiotACT. ACT Policing have updated abundantly this morning and here’s what they have:
1. A $4,000 Woden jewellry heist has ended badly for the alleged thieves:
- Acting on information received, male and female persons of interest were sought by police. Around 2.45pm on Friday (August 15), a traffic stop was performed on a red Holden Vectra in Kitchener St, Hughes. Police arrested two males and two females.
Police then conducted a search of the home of one of the alleged female offenders and jewellery was seized along with a small quantity of a suspected illicit drug. An amount of currency was also seized from the possession of two of the alleged offenders.
A male and a female were released without charge. The 20-year-old male charged with theft will face the ACT Magistrates Court this morning (August 18). The other female, aged 18, from Hughes continues to help police with their enquiries.

2. Isabella Plains man has met up with Griffith woman and gone to Charnwood to allegedly commit an armed robbery (surely the less tooled up suburbs would make a better target?):
- ACT Policing has arrested a 27-year-old male from Isabella Plains and an 18-year-old female from Griffith over an attempted armed robbery today (August 17).
The alleged incident took place at a bakery at Charnwood shops just before 8am. Police will allege the male entered the premises and threatened staff with a syringe while the female waited in a vehicle. The alleged offenders then fled in the vehicle in the direction of Belconnen.
With the assistance of the public, police arrived on scene where the vehicle the alleged offenders were driving had hit a tree and made the apprehensions.
The alleged offenders will face the ACT Magistrates court tomorrow morning (August 18) charged with one count each of attempted armed robbery.

3. And another syringe robbery in a Palmerston chemist has seen the police issue a somewhat hopeful face-fit:
- The male entered the premises and threatened staff with the syringe before making off on foot in the direction of Grampians Street, Palmerston with an undisclosed sum of cash.
The male is described as Caucasian in appearance, approximately 20 to 25-years-old, 188cm (6’2”) tall and with a thin build, including a thin face.
