Police Investigate Armed Robbery at Public Beach

Shortly after 11:30PM on Sunday, 5 November, police received a report of a robbery which had taken place about half an hour earlier in the Seven Mile Public Beach parking lot. A man had just parked at the location when he was approached by two masked men, one of whom was carrying a handgun and the other a knife. The culprits held the knife to the man and robbed him of a quantity of cash, then fled on foot. No shots were fired and no one was injured during the incident.

One of the suspects is described as being about 5’9” tall, of dark complexion and slim build. He was wearing a black hooded jacket, mask, long black pants, slippers, and carrying a black handgun.

The other suspect is described as being about 5’6” tall, of dark complexion and very slim build. He was wearing a light-coloured t-shirt, light-coloured shorts, a black mask, black head covering, gloves, and was carrying a large knife.
