Police arrest man over liquor store robbery

POLICE have made an arrest following an armed robbery of a liquor store in Canberra’s south last month.

Police say that two men, one armed with a knife, robbed a Wanniassa liquor store on the evening of August 15.

The duo – who were wearing face coverings – threatened a store attendant before stealing cash, 17 packs of cigarettes, and 11 bottles of alcohol.

The thieves then fled on foot.

Police arrested an 18-year-old man in relation to the robbery at a Bank’s residence yesterday (September 7).

Police say the man, who had been released from custody only a week before the robbery took place, was on 10 sets of good behaviour orders.
