Police have charged two people following investigations into a number of incidents that took place at Lethbridge Park yesterday, NSW Police say.
About 6.30pm today, police were called to a service station on Luxford Road following reports of theft.
It’s alleged a 20-year-old man entered the service station and approached the counter where he asked the attendant for a packet of cigarettes.
It’s alleged he threatened the attendant and said he had a knife. The attendant remained behind the counter and didn’t hand over any property.
The 20-year-old was leaving the premises as a 66-year-old woman approached the counter to pay for fuel. It’s alleged the man stole the woman’s money and left the store.
Moments later, it’s alleged a 23-year-old man entered the same store and grabbed a number of packets of chips and also ran from the scene.
Police were called and an investigation was commenced.

As officers arrived on scene they were confronted by a number of people outside the unit block prompting them to call for further assistance.
