Partygoers at bush rave are assaulted and robbed by a gang of thugs in the forest

A group of men are on the run from police after assaulting and robbing partygoers at a rave in the bush.

The intruders, all dressed in black and driving in a silver van, stormed the event near Sutton Road in Kowen Forest, about 30km east of Canberra, at about 2.45am on Sunday.

The men, who are of Pacific Islander appearance, demanded ‘cash and items of value’ from partygoers.

They then fled the scene in the same van before police arrived at the scene. 

ACT Police identified ‘multiple robbery and assault victims’ including two partygoers who were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Anyone who saw a silver van in the area around the time of the incident or who has any other information has been urged to contact police.
