 BY IAN CROUCH

Police have charged a second man over a brazen robbery on an East Maitland jewellery store.

Officers were called to Green Hills Shopping Centre on July 6 after a masked man allegedly smashed a glass case and fled with items valued at more than $100,000.

A 38-year-old man was subsequently arrested at a Tenambit home in September and remains before the courts.

Following further inquiries, detectives attended Silverwater gaol on Wednesday and arrested a 36-year-old man.

He's been charged with steal from the person value less than $150,000, face blackened/disguised with intent to commit indictable offence, larceny and destroy or damage property.

The man's been refused bail to face Maitland Local Court today (Thursday 27 October, 2022).
