Man arrested after bottle shop robbery

Just after 1.30am, Thursday 25 July, police were called to a hotel on Main North Road after reports three men had broken into the bottle shop and were stealing alcohol.

Staff members confronted the group as they attempted to leave the store, where one of the men produced a knife and threatened the staff member.

The men fled the scene and ran towards Carisbrooke Reserve.

Police were quickly on scene and set up cordons and called in PD Chaos to assist.

PD Chaos located a knife and alcohol discarded in the reserve.

Police continued to search the area, but the two outstanding males could not be located.
