The victim, Mary Da Costa had been working in the rear of her electronics shop at the Audian Hotel on Audian Road around 1545hrs when she heard the door of the shop open.  When she went to the front of the shop she saw a Timorese male standing at the counter.  Mrs Da Costa described the male as being around 25yrs old, 165cm tall, short brown hair, slim build, moustache, wearing a red shirt and blue denim jeans.  He was carrying a blue bag with the word ‘Adidas’written on the side.

Mrs Da Costa asked the male if she could assist him and he stated he wanted to purchase a Nokia mobile phone.  Mrs Da Costa then showed the male a range of Nokia mobiles phones from the display case.  During this time the male was leaning on the glass top of the display case.  As Mrs Da Costa handed the male a Nokia N95 still in its’ packaging, the male suddenly grabbed the phone in his right hand and ran out of the shop. 

Mrs Da Costa saw the male jump on a blue motorbike which was parked at the front of the shop.  She noted that the registration number of the motorbike was 3620TLS.  The male then headed the wrong way up Audian Road which is a one-way street.  Mrs Da Costa then wrote the motorbike registration on a piece of paper and called the Police.  A Police Forensic Unit attended the scene at 1705hrs and dusted the display case for fingerprints, however none were located.  Mrs Da Costa did a check of stock and revealed that the phone was a blue N95 model with the serial number 34678935.  The value of the phone was $300USD.
