Teen armed robber accuses victim of paedophilia, leads high-speed police chase

A teenager who robbed a man at knife-point "in broad daylight" accused his victim of being a paedophile before leading police on a high-speed car chase.

Driving the victim's stolen Ford Mustang, the young person narrowly avoided collisions, swerved the car onto the wrong side of the road several times and mounted a footpath to evade capture.

The 18-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reason, faced the ACT Supreme Court on Wednesday on seven charges, including aggravated robbery, driving a motor vehicle without consent and two counts of aggravated dangerous driving.
