Three men will face court following an armed robbery in Wagga Wagga this morning, where a car was allegedly taken.

About 12.15am (Sunday 19 October 2014), three men, aged 18, 20 and 21, were sitting in a gold Holden Rodeo ute at a fast food restaurant car park on Fox Street when three men approached them.

Police have been told that one of the men who approached the vehicle was armed with a knife and the three men threatened the group in the vehicle, demanding they get out of the car and hand over the car keys.

The ute was allegedly driven away by the armed men, later picking up a friend.

The three men, who were uninjured, waved down nearby police and reported the incident.

About 3.30am, investigating officers received a report of an incident in Gundagai, where a group of men in a Holden Rodeo allegedly failed to pay for petrol at a service station.

About 4.40am, officers stopped the Holden near Yass. Four men in the vehicle were arrested at the scene and taken to Yass Police Station.

Three of the men, two aged 18 years and one aged 19 years, were charged with aggravated assault with intent to take/drive a motor vehicle in company and larceny.

They were granted conditional bail, to appear at Wagga Wagga Local Court on 3 December 2014.

A fourth man was released pending further inquiries.
