Detectives have arrested a man over an armed robbery and carjacking at Brighton-Le-Sands four months ago and released a COMFIT image of another to whom they wish to speak.
A police statement said emergency services were called to a unit complex on Bay Street about 3am on Monday June 22 following reports a 45-year-old man had been assaulted.
"Police were told that three unknown men, all armed with weapons, assaulted the man, before stealing his vehicle - a late model red Mustang Coupe," the statement said.
