A serial criminal allegedly stole a woman's car keys at gunpoint after he and an accomplice had revved a chainsaw at her in broad daylight near a Canberra school.
Guy Pearson Roberts, 42, was denied release in the Galambany Bail Court on Friday, when he claimed police were blaming him simply because he lived in the same area.
Police documents, tendered in court, say the alleged victim spotted Mr Roberts and another man with the chainsaw as she walked towards her Mercedes in Phillip on December 12.
