Witnesses sought to Manuka aggravated robbery

ACT Policing is calling for witnesses, CCTV and dash-cam footage of an aggravated robbery in Manuka.  

About 10.35am today (Friday, 28 April 2023), ACT Policing responded to reports of a robbery of a customer at a bank on Franklin Street, Manuka.  

Police believe two men approached a third man who was attending the bank to make a cash deposit.    

They allegedly threatened the man with weapons, including a firearm and a taser, and made off with a sum of cash.    

Police do not believe this was a random incident, and the two men targeted the man making the bank deposit. 

Anyone who witnessed the incident who has not already spoken to police is urged to come forward.  

Police would also like to speak to anyone who may have dash-cam footage from the area around the time of the incident, or nearby businesses who may have CCTV footage.    

Anyone with information that could assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or on the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote reference 7416300. Information can be provided anonymously.
