A man was arrested on Saturday and taken to the ACT Regional Watch House.
He will face the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday on charges including aggravated robbery (in company), intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm, attempted unlawful confinement, and theft.
Investigations into the matter are ongoing.
