A teenager has been charged following an armed robbery in Armidale last week, NSW Police say.
About 7pm on Friday (6 July 2018), four males armed with knives allegedly threatened a staff member and demanded cash at a convience store on Queen Elizabeth Drive.
The group allegedly stole cash and cigarettes before leaving the area.
Officers from New England Police District established a crime scene and launched an investigation into the incident.
About 9.40pm on Saturday (7 July 2018), a 17-year-old boy presented at Armidale Police Station, where he was arrested and charged with robbery armed with offensive weapon.
He appeared at a children’s court on Sunday (8 July 2018), where he was granted conditional bail to reappear at a children’s court on Thursday 19 July 2018.
At this time, police do not believe this incident is linked to any other recent matters.
Inquiries are continuing.
