ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an aggravated robbery which occurred at the Goodwin Retirement Village in Monash early this morning (10 May 2016).

About 1.00am, members from Tuggeranong Police Station responded to a report that two males had entered a residence at the Goodwin Retirement Village, assaulted a male occupant, stolen a sum of money and attempted to steal his motor vehicle.
