Spectral taxi robber pictures released

20 September 2011 | johnboy

ACT Policing has released CCTV images of two alleged offenders following the aggravated robberies of two taxi drivers in Red Hill and Weston earlier this month (Friday, September 9).

The first incident occurred around 4.40am when the taxi driver was approached by two men in Cygnet Crescent, Red Hill. One of the men punched the driver while the other opened the passenger door and stole a mobile phone and wallet.

The second incident occurred around 5.55am in the Cooleman Court car park in Weston. The driver was threatened by two men, one with a possible tyre iron, who robbed him of his mobile phone and wallet.

The first offender is described as wearing a white-coloured jumper and the other a dark-coloured jumper. Both males are described as Caucasian in appearance.

Anyone who may recognise the two men from the description and images, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report via the Crime Stoppers website on www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.

If this really is a 14 year old then whoever he is he should not be publicly identified and named.

You’re correct, he should be publicly flogged and stoned to (near) death

In Google maps, when you type in Cygnet Crescent, Red Hill, Australian Capital Territory, check out street view, it takes you to the flats there, and the first thing I have noticed-a car, white sedan, with NSW plates, which looks like it was broken into.3/4 driver side window smashed. 🙂 Check it out.

Also, if you turn up your speakers you can hear a lone dog howling in the distance.

Bloody Caucasians, they’re all criminals. We should deport the lot of them back to Caucasia.

10 points for whoever can explain where the term Caucasian comes from.

I think Mr.Wiki gets the 10 points! 🙂

The Wiki article refers to Georgians as the most beautiful people in the world. And yet they managed to produce Stalin

And that is wrong?
