ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to the aggravated robbery of the Belconnen Soccer Club in McKellar late last night (Saturday, 1 August).
About 11.07pm, a single male offender entered the club armed with a small handgun. Five patrons were exiting the club when the offender entered and rushed past them to the front counter.
The offender immediately jumped the counter and threatened the male employee with the handgun, demanding money. The employee complied and the offender fled the club on foot.
The offender is described as male with slim build, carrying a black handgun.
ACT Policing has obtained CCTV from the club and investigations are ongoing.
