Wanniassa Tavern drinkers finger armed thief

26 February 2011 | johnboy

ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an aggravated robbery at Civic Video at the Wanniassa shops last night (Friday 25 February).

Around 9.15pm the male offender entered the store and demanded money. The staff member handed the offender a sum of money after which the offender left the store.

Following the incident, the offender was seen running past the Wanniassa Tavern. He is described as being of Caucasian appearance, mid twenties with a slim build. He was wearing black sunglasses, black beanie, black hooded jumper, and black three quarter pants.

Police are seeking any witnesses who may have been in the area of the Wanniassa shops, particularly Civic Video or the Wanniassa Tavern on Friday evening around 9.15pm, who can assist in the investigation, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers website on www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.

Boney, how is the title misleading? It might be trite, corny, cliche and hackneyed, but it does summarise the police report, and so can’t really be misleading. It does add ‘armed’; there’s nothing in the police report saying he’s armed, although I too would assume that aggravated implies a weapon of some kind…

But more to the point, I’m still waiting for the Wanniassa-bashers to start…
