Police appeal for information after Casino attempted robbery

Police are appealing for information following an attempted robbery which left a man seriously injured at Casino early this morning.


At about 3.30 this morning (Friday, 8 November 2024), a man was in a parked vehicle at Crawford Square Casino when he was awoken by an unknown man who demanded his mobile phone and a motorbike, which was attached to the vehicle.



A struggle ensued, and the man who was in the vehicle sustained wounds to his arm, chest and back. The unknown man fled the scene a short time later, empty-handed.


A member of the public who was nearby drove the injured man, aged 26, to Casino Hospital, where he is being treated for suspected non-life-threatening injuries.



Police were subsequently notified by the hospital and immediately commenced inquiries into the incident.


A crime scene was established by officers attached to Richmond Police District, which will be forensically examined.



As inquiries into the incident continue, police urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
