A couple threatened to kill a teenage girl while robbing her in Thornlie last night.

Cannington Detectives are searching for a man and woman who grabbed the 16-year-old as she walked on Spring Road towards Thornlie train station about 6.20pm.

Cannington Det-Sgt Jason Beesley said the man grabbed the girl in the groin and threatened to slit her throat if she did not hand over her money.

He showed her an item concealed in his pants, which he claimed was a weapon.

The pair stole $100 from the girl’s purse before she managed to escape.

The armed man was described as aged in his late thirties to early forties, 180cm tall and of medium build, with tanned skin, short brown hair, blue eyes and rotting yellow teeth.

He was wearing a dark jacket, red polo shirt with a dark motif and baggy black pants.

His partner was described as aged 35 to 40, 165-170cm tall and of pudgy build, with pale dry skin and longish dirty dyed auburn hair in a pony tail.

She was wearing a cream polo shirt and pushing a dark blue pram with a hood.

The APS Veterinary Day Clinic was officially opened by the mayor of Gosnells on Sunday 12th October and will be in use this week. We are all thrilled as now the animals don't have to be transported to and from outside vets making it much better for the them. Much gratitude goes to Bicton and Jandakot Vets who helped us out tremendously. Our new clinic was made possible due to the kind generosity of the late Mr Gerard Hendriks who had a great love of animals.

Don't forget we have our dog walk on the 26th October, 11am - 3pm at Bibra Lake (the park opposite Adventure World). Bring your pooch for a walk around the lake, the cost being $5. Refreshments are available and we have stalls and activities. We do ask that you keep your dog on a lead at all times please. See you there!
