1. Air Force medals and Mercedes stolen:
- ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to a burglary which occurred in Braddon yesterday (Monday, April 20).
Between 3pm and 6pm the Elder Street residence was broken into and searched. A number of Defence medals for a current Air Force member including an Iraq Campaign medal, an Active Service medal and a Defence Force Service medal were taken. These medals are stamped and embossed with the member’s name.
Also taken was a personal laptop, a watch and a set of car keys. The offenders then stole a nine-year-old white M Class Mercedes Station Wagon. Paint was evident on both sides of the garage exit which would suggest obvious panel damage was sustained to both sides of the vehicle during the theft.
AFP Forensic Services attended the scene.
Police are appealing for any witnesses who may have seen suspicious persons in Elder Street, Braddon, yesterday to contact Crime Stoppers.
