Robbery at a Morpeth Grocery Store


A Woodville man will appear in Maitland Local Court next month charged with armed robbery and possession of drugs following a robbery at a Morpeth grocery store.
It's alleged the 22-year-old man entered the Friendly Grocer store on Swan Street at 6pm last night before threatening the 17-year-old female attendant with a knife.

The man then fled the store with a small sum of cash.

Senior Constable Tony Tamplin says police traced the man’s car to a Woodville address where he was arrested.
