- Court documents
Court papers said Rozs was allegedly captured on CCTV footage entering the business and walking around the shop for a number of minutes earlier in the afternoon, before asking the female attendant what time the business closed.
CCTV footage captured a man, who police allege was Rozs, dressed in different clothes in an attempt to hide his identity, enter the business around 6.30pm, wearing a black hooded jumper, black tights, with a blue bandana wrapped around his face and wearing white gloves.
It is alleged he was carrying a black backpack and a large steel kitchen knife, approached the female attendant behind the counter, demanding cash. The woman allegedly gave the male a number of $5, $20 and $50 notes before he was seen running in an easterly direction towards Prince Edward Avenue. A number of witnesses told police the alleged offender had ran in the direction of Brighton Parade.
Following investigations police went to a house in the street, found a gate to the rear of the property open, along with the back door of the home open. When police entered they allegedly found Rozs dressed in nothing but his underwear.
A search of the home found a large amount of Australian currency partially hidden on a bed. Police recovered $790 in cash and also allegedly located a number of pieces of clothing, the same as those captured on CCTV from the robbery. Rozs told police he was intellectually impaired and resided at a care facility in Goulburn.
Magistrate Gabriel Fleming granted Rozs bail, imposing a number of conditions, including reporting to Goulburn Police and not to enter the Shoalhaven other than for court appearances and legal appointments.
