2. Rider down in Page:

ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to a road incident in Page this afternoon Friday, June 18, 2010 in which a motorcycle was forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision, resulting in serious injuries to the rider and pillion passenger.

The incident occurred around 2.15pm today at the intersection of Petterd and Herrgott Streets in Page.

The motorcycle, a black Suzuki GSXR750, had been travelling westbound on Petterd Street when it is believed that a vehicle entered from Herrgott Street, forcing the rider, a 22-year-old male from Hawker, to take immediate evasive action.

The bike fell to the roadway, resulting in serious injuries to the rider and his pillion passenger, a 20-year-old female from Flynn. The female pillion is four months pregnant.

Both rider and pillion were conveyed to hospital where the rider is reported to be in a critical condition and the passenger is serious.

Police are seeking to locate the driver of a white or silver Holden Commodore sedan, possibly an early 1990s model, which was involved in the incident but failed to stop and render assistance. There was one male driving the vehicle at the time of the incident.

Any witnesses who may have seen the vehicle as described, or may have any information about the incident and can assist the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.

3. Thuggies moving up in the world:

ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to four aggravated robberies that occurred over the weekend, with two occurring in Dickson, one in Red Hill and one in Woden.

About 1.25am on Saturday 19 June, four males were walking along Antill Street, Dickson, when they were approached by five males. As the four males attempted to walk through the group an assault has occurred. One of the victims has had his backpack taken from him by two of the offenders and a wallet was stolen from another victim.

About 10.45pm on Saturday 19 June, a 22-year-old male of Asian appearance was pulled from his bicycle and punched in the face by up to four males at the Dickson shops. The victim’s glasses were dislodged during the assault and due to his poor eyesight he was unable to provide further descriptions of the offenders. The offenders took off into a nearby car park with the victim’s money. They were seen to get into two vehicles, one a sedan and the other a utility (ute).

About 11pm on Saturday 19 June, a 29-year-old female was walking along Cygnet Crescent, Red Hill, with two friends when the occupants of a blue Holden Commodore approached them. The occupants of the car consisted of one male and three females. The male has chased one of the friends while one of the females has grabbed the victim, struck her and dragged her to the ground. The victim’s purse, mobile phone and camera were stolen from her before the offending female entered the blue Commodore and left the area.

On Sunday 20 June, police arrested a juvenile female alleged to have stolen a backpack from a person at the Woden Bus Interchange that day. The juvenile has been remanded to appear in the Children’s Court at a later date. Police are calling for any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers.

Police are urging any witnesses to the aggravated robberies who have not yet spoken to police or who can provide any other information to contact Crime Stoppers.

WTF is up with all the assaults and robberies?

Has there been an increase or is about the normal amount?

Perhaps they are just getting reported by the Police media unit now?

Either that or Mullytude is spreading throughout the community at a disturbing pace.

Extendable baton’s might be a worthwhile investment in Canberra in order to for fend off lowlives in the new sad reality of Canberra.

I know it was probably a hypothetical, buy FYI here is the Prohibited Weapons Act 1996 for anyone who is interested:
http://www.legislation.act.gov.au/a/1996-75/current/pdf/1996-75.pdf
(Part 1.2, Items 9-10 refer to batons)

I don’t think they are legal anymore (is anything?).

My solution would be to arrest any teenagers found in public not in a private school uniform.

Everyone knows, these little thugs would have come from a public school. I blame the teachers! rar rar rar

bring back the death penatly for anyone caught randomly bashing strangers…I know someone that has recently been attacked by a group of 5 teenagers and i doubt he will ever fully recover from the emotional trauma he now has. The world would be a much better place without these shitheads around

Statistically on RA.

65% obtained from google and only 15% of them relate to the question asked of which 80% will be sourced from another country. 90% of these will be trending upwards giving the 60%-40% illusion of badness. Which in turn is believed by only 23% of RA readers. 65% beleiving anything followed by the % symbol and 30% not being able to add up.

95% of all RA posters that demand stats relating to crime, have a 100% chance of calling for the sterilisation of all flannel wearing, earing clad, commodore driving, junkie scumbags.

Unfortunately junkies and deadshits breed…

I think there are too many Gangsta wannabe’s running around.

Hunting for weak targets in groups….

AND the bad part of it is, if I were to accidentally stab them 48 times then I’d be up for manslaughter and potentially have to spend 3 weeks in gaol, what’s up with that?

From all the bike fatalities this year the lesson is don’t ride a motorbike, you can do everything right and still get whacked.
