Attempted aggravated robbery at Kingston

ACT Policing is investigating an attempted aggravated robbery at a residence in Spinifex Street, Kingston last night (Tuesday, September 9).

About 9.45pm yesterday, the male victim was sitting outside talking to another male and a female when they heard a noise inside the house. Upon entering the house the male victim found three unknown males, two were holding swords and another was holding what he believed to be a black revolver handgun.

The offenders then threatened the victim, demanding money and jewellery before fleeing the house empty handed. The offenders were seen getting into a green Holden VS Commodore sedan parked down the street and sped off towards Kingston.

The first male offender is described as Aboriginal or Islander in appearance, aged 20 to 25, approximately six feet (183cm) tall, of average build and wearing a black jacket, black pants, a black baseball cap and white bandana with black markings tied around his face.

The second male offender is described as Aboriginal or Islander in appearance, aged 25 to 30, of large build, wearing a white top, black pants, a white baseball cap and a bandana wrapped around his face.

The third male offender is described as Caucasian in appearance, aged 20 to 25, wearing a black tracksuit with a hood and a white bandana with black skulls covering his nose and mouth.

Police would urge anyone who may have seen three males matching the above descriptions, a green Holden VS Commodore in the Kingston area last night or may have any other information which would assist the police investigation to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or report online to www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.
