Police have recovered a firearm believed to have been used in an overnight robbery at Elizabeth South, according to SA Police.
Just after 2am on Friday 1 September, a man and woman left an Elizabeth South hotel after playing the pokies. They walked along Chivell Street, then north on Goodman Road, towards Penfold Road. While cutting through a reserve near the corner of Penfold Road, a man approached them, armed with a firearm.
He fired a shot into the ground, demanded their property, but left empty-handed and was last seen jumping fences towards Philip Highway.
Fortunately, there were no injuries.
The suspect is described as a man of Caucasian appearance, about 178 cm tall, wearing a dark hoodie with a skeleton or skull face and dark pants.
