A 16-year-old boy was robbed of his mobile phone at knifepoint yesterday at the Belconnen Skate Park.
About 4.10pm, the boy was approached by a man at the front of Lake Ginninderra College as he walked to meet his mother. The man asked the boy the time, he replied and kept walking.
The man called out again, and when the boy turned around he was confronted with the man holding a knife. The man threatened the boy and demanded his mobile phone.
The offender is described as Caucasian in appearance with an olive complexion, between 30 to 35 years-of-age, about 173cm tall (5’8”), of medium build with short, dark-coloured hair that was thin through the middle. He was wearing dark blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt, and was unshaven.
