Police seeking robbery victim

Can you help?

ACT Policing is seeking the identity of a man who was the victim of an aggravated robbery in the Belconnen Bus Interchange on Tuesday, October 16 2018, between 11.30pm and midnight.

While investigating two other aggravated robberies that occurred on the same night in the Belconnen area, ACT Policing’s Criminal Investigations Team were made aware of a third incident that had not been reported to police.

Officer in Charge of Criminal Investigations, Detective Acting Station Sergeant Shane Scott, said that police want to hear from the victim who is yet to come forward. Police believe the offenders threatened their victims during these robberies to discourage them from reporting the crimes to police.

“We have already arrested three young people for two robberies, but we want to resolve the third incident,” Sergeant Scott said.

“Our investigations have revealed some details about this third robbery, and while we have no reason to believe the victim suffered any physical harm, we would like to hear from him.

“We understand it may be difficult to come forward after being threatened, but we want him to know that police are treating this matter as serious, and to reassure him that his safety and privacy will be upheld.”

The victim is urged to contact police on 131 444 or attend their nearest Police Station. Please provide reference number 6320263 and your contact details and a police officer will make contact

Anyone else with information that could assist police should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Information can be provided anonymously.
