armed robbery

ACT Policing is seeking witnesses following the armed robbery of the 7-Eleven service station in Spence early this morning (Friday May, 10).

Around 2.10am, a man armed with a knife approached the console operator of the 7-Eleven service station who was outside at the time.

The offender walked the operator into the service station where he ordered the victim to open the security door behind the counter.

The offender removed several packets of cigarettes before taking a small amount of cash. The offender then ran from the scene in an unknown direction.

The offender is described as late teens to early 20’s, between 5’9” to 5’11” tall (175 and 180cm), slim build and green eyes.

He was wearing a blue hoodie, black track pants, black mask, white/grey runners and white gloves.

Anyone who was in the area of service station and who may be able to assist with the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.

Just a thought, its entirely possible the employee and the crims set this up. I do not see a reason for the employee to be out of his cage at that time.

Maybe, though sometimes they do have minor issue with the pumps, with the button thing that tells it whether it’s being used or not.

Hell, if the setup isn’t a particularly good one it’s possible the attendant was going to the loo.

I often wonder wtf when I see servos that the staff has to leave their cage to use the toilet.

Re the pumps, I have been asked before to go back out and re set the nozzle.

That wouldn’t happen if cigarettes were legal….

Main reason crims steal cigarettes is because they’re one of the few goods around now that actually have some kind of resale value. (since all their deadshit mates no doubt smoke)

Jesus Christ. Threatening a man with a blade (ie potential injury or death) for the sake of a few packets of durries and small amount of cash.

There are some mongrels in this town.

Is that Death in a purple hoody?!

Where’s Dogman when you need him?
