Police are currently at the scene of an aggravated robbery that occurred at the Takanini Southgate shopping complex on Wednesday morning, March 7.
The incident took place just after 11 a.m. when three heavily disguised offenders carrying a firearm approached security guards who were transporting cash back to the security van.
The offenders presented a firearm at the security guards and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash. Fortunately, the security guards were not injured during the robbery.
The offenders then fled the scene in an older style silver Subaru Legacy sedan which has since been recovered by police in the Bruce Pullman park area.
Police are making area enquires which includes reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to witnesses. We would like to hear from anyone else who may have witnessed the robbery.
