UPDATE: Athol Park robbery believed to be racially motivated Police are continuing to investigate a reported robbery and assault at Athol Park last week. While there are a number of sensitivities still surrounding this ongoing investigation which appears to have racial overtones, SA Police are now able to release further information and make another appeal for public assistance. Around 8.50pm on 25 September, the victim was driving on Millicent Street Athol Park when he was forced to pull over by another vehicle containing three men posing as Australian Federal Police. The vehicle is believed to be a late model black Holden Commodore. Two of the men forced the victim out of his car and stole a laptop computer and mobile phone. They also damaged his car and wrote offensive words on the bonnet. The victim was not injured but was subject to abuse because of his ethnicity and religious beliefs. He left the scene in his car and contacted police. Police are in direct communication with the victim and are working in partnership with him and the local community to provide support and advice. The first suspect is described as a man of Caucasian appearance, aged 25 to 30 years, with a heavy build, a 10cm long ginger beard with no moustache and he was wearing a black baseball cap. A computer generated image of this suspect has been released. The second suspect is of Caucasian appearance, aged 25 to 30 years, with a slim build, clean shaven and also wearing a black baseball cap. There is no description of the third man. Anyone who recognises the man pictured or who may have seen suspicious activity in the area is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
