ACT Policing Criminal Investigation detectives are investigating an aggravated robbery that occurred in Spence this morning (Saturday, 29 August 2015).
Around 4.35am, a man using a hammer forced his way into the 7 Eleven store on the corner of Clarey Crescent and Glassey Place, Spence and produced a pistol while making demands for cash.
