ACT Policing is investigating an aggravated robbery that occurred at the Bottle-O bottle shop on Luxton Street in Belconnen on Monday night (22 June).
At about 10.30pm a man entered the shop armed with a meat cleaver and demanded money from the cashier. The offender then left with the cash-till and other stolen items from the store.

ACT Policing and AFP Forensic Service attended the scene. Investigations are ongoing.
CCTV footage of the incident is being obtained and will be distributed.
