ACT Policing is investigating an aggravated robbery that took place in Ngunnawal last Friday (June 21) afternoon.
Between 5.45pm and 6.00pm, a man driving a red Holden Commodore station wagon along Wanganeen Avenue, Ngunnawal stopped as a man was standing in the middle of the road impeding traffic.
While the car was stopped, another man entered the vehicle and threatened the driver with a knife.
The man who had been impeding traffic then entered the vehicle and demanded the driver take them to Nicholls shops and withdraw a sum of cash from the automatic teller machine (ATM).
The man complied with the demand, drove to the Nicholls shops and withdrew the cash. The two men then demanded they be driven to Gold Creek. The two men exited the Commodore in the car park of the George Harcourt Inn, and fled the area, running towards the Barton Highway.
