Argument leads to assault charges

TWO men will face robbery and assault charges in the Magistrates Court today.

The 20-year-old Gilmore man and 19-year-old Calwell man were arrested in relation to an aggravated robbery on Wednesday night.

Police said about 10.30pm, a 54-year-old man was at his Calwell home watching television when two men arrived for a visit.  A short time later a disagreement took place and the victim was assaulted by the two men.

Police said while the victim was being assaulted, the men stole his wallet, and started to damage his personal belongings after he refused to provide the personal identification numbers of his bank cards.

The victim was taken to Canberra Hospital for medical treatment.
