Karratha Police are seeking information over a series of incidents in which alcohol was stolen from two Karratha premises on March 14. Police said alcohol was stolen from the Ibis Hotel Bottle Shop and Karratha Recreation and Sports Club, both on Searipple Rd, after they were broken into between 2am and 3am. Items were also stolen from several cars parked nearby, which were also broken into and damaged. It is believed the person pictured may be able to assist with this investigation.
Anyone with information about these incidents, or who recognises the person pictured, is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. In a separate incident, police said that a man threatened staff in a Karratha video store with a knife last Monday at 8.40pm. The man had entered the Balmoral Rd store and asked to buy a movie. But when he was told the movie was available for hire and not sale, it is alleged the man brandished a knife. The staff member fled
to the rear of the store and the man left the store after taking a drink from a fridge. Karratha Police reviewed CCTV footage and passed that information on to another Karratha Police unit, which was sent to search the area for the offender. A person matching the description of the offender was located and arrested. A 29-year-old man, of no fixed address, has been charged with being armed in a way that may cause fear and fronted Karratha Magistrates Court late last week.
