ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an aggravated robbery at Haig Park in Braddon on Friday (4 September).
About 8.00am, the victim was walking through the park when he was grabbed from behind, pushed into a tree and threatened with an electric pulse device [Police declined to elaborate what this term means]. The offender then frisked the man and left on foot with a sum of cash, and other personal items.
The offender was described as wearing dark hooded jumper, denim jeans, light coloured shoes, and a black star tattoo on the back of one hand.
Police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or have any information that could assist police to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via act.crimestoppers.com.au and quote reference number 5851626. Information can be provided anonymously.
Police remind people they should not report crime information via Facebook and Twitter pages.
