Man charged over armed robberies
Posted
A 24-year-old Mayfield man has been charged with a string of recent armed robberies in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
Earlier this month, a man armed with a knife held up a bottle shop at Adamstown and a supermarket at Maitland, taking a moderate amount of cash.
In August, there was a similar armed hold up at the Lake Macquarie Tavern in Mount Hutton.
Police last night arrested the 24-year-old and he has been refused bail to appear in Newcastle local court today.
