Regional Investigations Unit detectives have charged a man as part of their ongoing investigation into an armed robbery that occurred in Spearwood on Saturday, 31 October 2020.
Around 7.30pm, two men with their faces covered entered a liquor store located on Rockingham Road. Both men threatened staff, and it is alleged the charged man jumped the counter armed with a small fire extinguisher and a hammer.
