1 min read

Police have made a quick arrest following a serious assault at a workplace in Henderson this morning.

Police were called to the Sel Peacock Drive premises just after 9am following a report of a female security guard being assaulted.

Senior Sergeant Ryan Lilleby says it appears a disgruntled client has approached the security guard and repeatedly assaulted her.

She has been taken to hospital with moderate injuries.

¡°A Police patrol unit in the area responded to the job within minutes and arrested the man just down the road from the scene,¡± Senior Sergeant Lilleby says.

The premises was initially put into lockdown following the incident but has since reopened.

¡°This is a very concerning incident, and we would like to reassure the community that we take this kind of offending seriously.

¡°We hope this quick arrest demonstrates our commitment to hold those responsible for this type of brazen behaviour to account."

ENDS.
