Armed Robbery Suspect Arrested in Adelaide Helicopter Chase
A 29-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with a shocking armed robbery that took place in Adelaide last week. The incident ended with a helicopter chase and a tense standoff. The arrest of the woman follows the apprehension of two other individuals, Bradley Ansell, 35, and a 31-year-old man from Christies Downs.
The robbery occurred at a second-hand store in Clovelly Park. According to reports, the two male suspects stormed the shop armed with a firearm and hammers. They managed to escape with a significant amount of jewelry and cash, fleeing on separate motorbikes.
In a remarkable turn of events, PolAir, the South Australian Police’s aerial unit, tracked down Bradley Ansell to a property in Christies Beach. This led to a two-hour long standoff, which finally ended when the police took Ansell into custody. He has since been charged with aggravated robbery, theft, dangerous driving, and breach of bail.
The second suspect was apprehended on Thursday evening at a licensed premise on South Rd. He has been charged with committing theft using force.
Over the weekend, the 29-year-old woman was arrested at a house in Novar Gardens. The police seized a number of items from the premises, which they believe are relevant to the ongoing investigation. The woman has been charged with theft and second-hand dealer offenses. She is scheduled to appear at the Adelaide Magistrates Court on October 17.
The authorities have made significant progress in solving this case, with three key arrests made so far. This serves as a testament to the dedication and persistence of the South Australia Police in ensuring the safety and security of the community.
The investigation into the armed robbery is still ongoing, as the police work to gather all the necessary evidence and bring those responsible to justice. It is a reminder that criminal activities will not be tolerated, and the authorities will employ all available resources to apprehend those involved.
Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is urged to come forward and assist the police with their inquiry. Together, we can help create a safer community for everyone.
