A 29-year-old man extradited from Wagga Wagga NSW will face the ACT Magistrate’s Court today charged in relation to an aggravated robbery in Kippax on Tuesday. 

About 3.35am on Tuesday 12 December, 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 his phone, it is alleged the 29-year-old produced a screwdriver and assaulted him. 

ACT Policing further allege that the 29-year-old then stole the man’s Ford Ranger utility and fled the scene. 

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

Later on Tuesday 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, to face charges including aggravated robbery and take motor vehicle without consent.
