Car may be linked to armed robbery

Two men entered the Lanyon Vikings Club, one armed with a shotgun and the other with a nail gun.
A CAR, which was caught on CCTV footage, may be linked to a robbery at the Lanyon Vikings Club involving two armed men. 

The men, one armed with a shotgun and the other with a nail gun, entered the club at about 11.30pm on October 2, 2017.

But, at about 10.20pm a car parked in the club’s outdoor carpark and its headlights flashed at 11.27pm, leading police to believe it may be related.

During the robbery, one offender remained just inside the door of the club while another ordered a staff member onto the floor. One of the men threatened another staff member and a sum of money was stolen.

Police are urging anyone who may have any information about the vehicle, the driver or the aggravated robbery that could assist police to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website using reference number 6283658.
