A suspect involved in a robbery and knife-related offences in Worthing has been detained pending trial.
Following a robbery alarm at a Findon Road petrol station in Worthing around 5am on February 8, police initiated an investigation. An employee reported a robbery at the location, noting the perpetrator had fled.
Additionally, there was a report of unrelated criminal damage in Worthing on the same day.
The police later apprehended a man for his alleged involvement in the robbery and for carrying a knife in public.
Sussex Police have charged 38-year-old Matthew Maule of Gravits Lane, Bognor, with one count of robbery, two counts of carrying a knife in public, and one count of criminal damage.
