Police have arrested three men following a robbery with violence reported in Arouca on Wednesday afternoon.

A 60-year-old woman was seated in her husband’s car at the Little Lai Restaurant carpark on Eastern Main Road when two men approached the vehicle. One opened the passenger side door while the other opened the driver side. The victim said she was assaulted during the incident as the suspects demanded items from the car.

The assailants reportedly stole two envelopes containing bank documents and $80 in cash before fleeing west along the Eastern Main Road. Witnesses later reported seeing two men matching the suspects’ descriptions enter a black hatchback vehicle and drive away.
