Two teenagers have been charged after an alleged armed robbery near Singleton.
About 1.30am early Thursday morning, a 25-year-old man was working inside a service station on Bridgman Road at Dunolly, when a woman entered the store.
Police will allege in court as she was exiting, a man who was armed with a knife entered the store and threatened the attendant, before demanding cash and e-cigarettes.
The pair fled on foot together towards the New England Highway.
Officers from Hunter Valley Police District established a crime scene and commenced an investigation.
Following inquiries, detectives executed a search warrant at a home on Wakehurst Crescent, Singleton Heights, shortly before 3pm later that day.
A 14-year-old girl was arrested inside the home while a 16-year-old boy was located and arrested from inside a roof cavity.
Both were taken to Singleton Police Station, and each face a number of charges.
The boy was refused bail to appear at a children’s court on Friday, while the girl was granted conditional bail to appear at a children’s court in late June.
