ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an alleged robbery of a teen at the Dickson bus interchange on Wednesday night.
About 11:20pm on Wednesday 6 November, an 18-year-old woman was walking in the Dickson bus interchange when she was approached by two other women who allegedly asked to borrow her phone to make a call. After further interactions between the group, the two women left the scene with the teen’s phone after allegedly threatening her with a ‘jet lighter’ and threatening to stab and use a taser on her.
The first woman was described as approximately 19-years-old, Aboriginal in appearance, with a solid build, brown eyes and greasy brown hair in a ponytail. She was wearing a beige tank-top black bike shorts and she was carrying a large black bag.
The second woman was described as Caucasian in appearance, tall with a thin build. She was wearing a white cap, a white tank top and black leggings.
The teen was approached by a man who assisted her during the incident. This man may have come from the Club Lime facility nearby and police would like him to come forward.
Anyone who can assist police in relation to this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote 7894046. Information can be provided anonymously.
