POLICE are seeking witnesses after a 24-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman were robbed at knifepoint in Belconnen on Saturday night.
The pair were walking home along College Street at around 8.30pm, when three men approached them and demanded their wallets and other belongings.
One of the men produced a knife and the victims complied with their demands, before all three ran away in the direction of Belconnen Mall.
Police conducted a full search of the surrounding area but were unable to locate the offenders.
ACT Policing have issued a description of the three muggers as “African in appearance and over six feet tall”, with one wearing a white checkered shirt, dark tracksuit pants with a white stripe and white canvas shoes during the robbery.
Anyone who has information that could assist in identifying the men or may have witnessed the incident can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or by going to act.crimestoppers.com.au.
