1. Masked mugger stalks Pearce:

    ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an aggravated robbery of a 25-year-old Pearce man which occurred yesterday (January 5) on Marr Street in Pearce.

    Around 10.15pm police attended the scene and spoke to the victim who told police he had been struck from behind by a man wearing a balaclava and knocked to the ground with a club. The male offender continued to kick and hit the victim with the club and was accompanied by two other men who also kicked the victim.

    The male offender who initially struck the victim is described as Caucasian, around 175cm (5’9″) tall, with a thin build and was wearing a green shirt, black pants and white shoes.

    Police immediately conducted patrols of the surrounding areas.

He was wearing a baklava? What was wrong with a loukemades? (This is a Greek joke in case you haven’t twigged yet).

Who is that Masked Man?

“The male offender who initially struck the victim is described as Caucasian, around 175cm (5?9?) tall, with a thin build and was wearing a green shirt, black pants and white shoes.”

The white shoes strike again.
