ACT Policing’s Criminal Investigations team has arrested a 37-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman from Ngunnawal in relation to several aggravated robberies last night (Tuesday, November 15).

About 7.06pm police responded to an aggravated robbery at Higgins Foodworks. A man entered the store and threatened staff with a knife, demanding money.

The staff complied with his demands. The offender left the store in a black Toyota Kluger 4WD. The description of the offender provided by witnesses was similar to that from previous incidents.

About 8pm Gunghalin General Duties were conducting a mobile patrol located a black Toyota Kluger 4WD which was suspected to be stolen. Located in the rear of the car was a cash tray believed to have been stolen during the robbery at Higgins Foodworks.

ACT Policing’s canine unit detected a scent and led police to a nearby house. Police searched the residence and found items relating to several aggravated robberies.

Following the search, a man and woman were arrested and taken to the ACT Watch House.

The man has been charged with three counts of aggravated robbery in relation to KFC Hawker, Coles/Shell Express Hawker and Foodworks Higgins and ride in stolen motor vehicle.

The woman has been charged with one count of aggravated burglary.

Both offenders will face the ACT Magistrates Court today. The offenders may be charged with further robbery offences at a later date.

Ah, I remember that bitch from High School. You’ve come so far sweetheart!

Suspended sentence? “The drugs made me do it, Your Honour!”

With no doubt no more than a few dozen priors, they will easily argue for, and be given, their 19th chance by our very kind magistrates. Wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t already on bail for some previous crimes.

Linking one story to the other.

No! The Raiders have had enough bad press this year.

*Golf clap*

Well played sir, well played.

Extra doggy biscuit for someone tonight – and not the prisoners.

Traders in Hawker must be feeling relieved. Maybe they will chip in for the $50 fine and a taxi to counselling if they are convicted?

I guess it wasn’t enough, otherwise they wouldn’t have had to steal a Kluger.

White commodore must have been broken.

He was probably trying to go incognito.. no-one suspects a black kluger to be dodgy

Three cheers for the Criminal Investigation Team! Well done!

Kudos ACT Policing!

Good work, I wouldn’t be surprised if they later connect them to another dozen crimes.

Nice work doggy nose.
