Third Man Arrested on Drug Charges
When officers arrived, they also detained a third man found with cannabis and a stack of cash. He was arrested for drug offences.
Detective Sergeant Andrea Brown said: “This was a nasty and distressing incident. A man has entered the store and has used force to get behind the counter and steal cash from the till. We have acted fast to locate the offenders and made two arrests. No one should have to go into a shop and experience this type of incident.”
