A 38-year-old woman has been charged with aggravated robbery after allegedly stealing a car at knifepoint in Canberra on Thursday.


The woman was expected to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court on Saturday morning. She also faces a charge of drive motor vehicle without consent.


In a statement on Saturday morning, ACT Policing said a member of the public reported seeing the allegedly stolen Mitsubishi Mirage parked on Corrina Street in Phillip.


Officers allegedly found the 38-year-old in the driver’s seat.


The woman’s arrest came after police had appealed for witnesses to the alleged aggravated robbery and sightings of the vehicle.


Police allege that the 20-year-old Mirage owner was sitting in the vehicle on Denigan Street in Erindale about 9pm on Thursday when a woman approached her and threatened her with a large kitchen knife, demanding the alleged victim’s phone and the vehicle.


Police say the 20-year-old ran to a nearby service station and the alleged offender drove away in the vehicle.


More to come.
