Man to face court over Kippax aggravated robbery

A 29-year-old man will face the ACT Magistrate’s Court charged in relation to an aggravated robbery in Kippax. 

About 3.35am on Tuesday (12 December 2023), police allege the 29-year-old approached a man outside the Kippax shopping centre requesting to use their phone. 

When the man refused to hand over their phone, it is alleged the 29-year-old produced a screwdriver and assaulted the man. 

It will be further alleged that the 29-year-old then stole the man's Ford Ranger utility and fled the scene. 

The man was subsequently transported to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. 

Later that morning, the 29-year-old was located in Cootamundra, NSW following a single vehicle collision, where he was transported to hospital with non life-threatening injuries. 

The man faced the Wagga Wagga Court yesterday where his extradition to the ACT was granted. He is scheduled to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court today (Thursday, 14 December 2023) to face charges including aggravated robbery and take motor vehicle without consent.
