THREE PEOPLE ARRESTED OVER VIOLENT HARRINGTON ROBBERY

Three people have been charged, over the alleged robbery of a convenience store in Harrington earlier this month.

Police say a shopkeeper was forced to the ground and threatened with a knife in the early hours of December three, while his Crowdy Street store was ransacked.

As part of Strikeforce Cupid, two 18-year-old men were arrested and charged with robbery whilst armed.

While an 18-year-old woman has been charged with being an accessory.

“When people do these things they try and disguise their appearance etc so we have to put a lot of effort into trying to identify people but I think it’s reassuring to the community that to know that we don’t drop these things, that we will investigate them until the end of the earth.”

The two men faced Taree Court on Tuesday where they were denied bail.
