Car-spray suspect extradited to face charges

A 30-year-old man, extradited from NSW, is in court in Canberra today (December 7) facing charges of robbery, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, destroying/damaging property and defacing private premises following an incident in Acton in October.

Police allege that at about 4.10pm on October 4, a woman returned to her vehicle parked in Acton near Corkhill Street to find three people spraying paint over her car. It is alleged the man then assaulted the woman and damaged her mobile phone.

The man was arrested on Monday (December 5) at Sydney Airport and returned to the ACT yesterday.
