A man has been charged after an armed robbery in the state’s central west.
About 8pm on Thursday (18 August 2016), a 30-year-old man was walking along King Street, Coonamble, when he was approached by a younger man.

Following inquiries, about 1pm on Friday yesterday, police located and arrested a 24-year-old man.
He was taken to Coonamble Police Station and charged with robbery armed with an offensive weapon.
