Face-fit released after assault in Aranda

ACT Policing has released a face-fit image to help identify a man following an assault in Aranda last month.

About 10am on Monday, 28 September 2020, two drivers were travelling along Bandjalong Crescent, Aranda near Jalanga Crescent. The alleged offender was observed tailgating the victim and signaling him to pull over.

After pulling over, the man exited the vehicle and was punched, causing him to fall to the ground and become temporarily unconscious.

The alleged offender is described as Caucasian in appearance, about 18-years-old, about 188cm (6’2”) in height, slim build with short brunette hair, brown eyes, a thin nose and lips, and no facial hair. The man was last seen wearing a green/black skull beanie, a black jacket.

The vehicle the man was driving was described as a late 1990’s or early 2000 model white tray back utility, displaying red P plates and ACT registration.

Anyone with information or can identify the person depicted in the face-fit image that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference 6639076. Information can be provided anonymously.

ACT Policing face-fit is a graphical representation of a face, constructed by an artist working with a witness. A mixture of technology and artistry creates the image, usually from individual facial features which are then put together to come up with a final composite image.
