Karratha Detectives are calling for the public’s assistance in their investigation of an assault on Monday 19 March 2012.

At about 3:40pm, a 21 year old male employee of the Evolution Lounge Bar exited the premises to walk to his car when he was assaulted by a male offender. The man also stole the weekend’s takings from the bar that the employee was carrying.

The offender fled, jumping a fence and getting into the passenger seat of an older model faded blue sedan, possibly a Honda Accord or Civic. The car had a distinctive roof rack described as two straight black bars running across the roof (not the moulded type) protruding beyond the edge of the roof. The vehicle’s number plate white with blue writing.

The victim received head and facial injuries and was taken to the Nickol Bay Hospital for treatment.

The offender is described as being in his mid twenties, fair skinned, of slim build with light blonde hair cut in a number two or three crew cut style.

He was wearing a yellow high visibility long sleeve top and dark work pants. He had a black hood or bag over his head.

The driver of the car is described as being a fair skinned man, wearing a dark singlet.
