At around 1.50pm on Saturday 9 December 2023, a woman entered a clothing store on Jull Street in Armadale pushing a trolley with a child seated in the trolley. The woman walked around the store placing numerous clothing items into a bag inside her trolley. The woman was stopped by a staff member as she was exiting the store and refused to open the bag in her trolley. When the staff member took hold of the bag, the woman tried to head-butt the staff member before pushing the trolley into the staff member, who let go of the bag.
