Arabic version: مروحية تبحث عن مشتبه به في سرقة بريلْتون
According to ABC News, a police helicopter has joined a search for a man allegedly linked to several incidents in Tasmania’s north-west, including the robbery of a service station in Railton.
Police said they were first notified shortly after 9am on Sunday after reports of a man acting erratically on Macfie Street in Devonport. Members of the public reported that he was knocking on doors and demanding keys to their vehicles before leaving the area in a white Toyota, police said.
A service station in Railton, about 22 kilometres south of Devonport, was robbed just before 10am, police said. A quantity of cash was taken from the premises. The man is then alleged to have stolen a silver Alfa Romeo from Kimberley, about nine kilometres south-east of Railton.
Police resources, including the helicopter, have been deployed to search for the man and the stolen vehicle around Devonport. The suspect is described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall, with short hair, an olive complexion and facial tattoos. Police said nobody was physically injured in the incidents and urged anyone who sees the man not to approach him, but to contact police.
