Police appeal for information following armed robbery - Regents ParkThe omission is part of a deliberate campaign in which Sydney papers such as the Tele and the SMH edit references to Middle Eastern/ Mediterranean appearance out of police reports - apparently, it 'hardly narrows it down and serves no purpose' - but leaves in white/ European.
