A woman will face court on Tuesday charged over an alleged armed robbery in
Newcastle.
About 6.15pm on Monday night a 39-year-old female attendant was
working at a service station on Park Avenue, Kotara, when a 37-year-old woman
entered the store and approached the counter.
Police allege the woman then threatened the employee with a
knife and demanded cigarettes.
The employee refused and the woman left the store.
Officers attended a short time later and
arrested the woman.
She was taken to Newcastle Police Station and charged with robbery armed
with an offensive weapon.
She was refused bail to appear at Newcastle Local Court on Tuesday.
