Man charged after allegedly robbing pizza delivery man at Dover Gardens

It was an alleged pizza heist so ingenious that no one could possibly track it back to the accused — well, except for one small detail.

A pizza delivery man has knocked on a door he never hoped to — finding himself threatened at knifepoint and robbed of his pizzas at Dover Gardens.

The 19-year-old victim, who was not physically hurt, informed police of the address and a detailed description of the suspect about 9.50pm on Thursday.

Officers went to the Branksome Tce house and arrested a 32-year-old man without incident.

He has been charged with aggravated robbery and appeared in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Friday.
