Three males have been charged following an alleged armed robbery at Tuggerah at the weekend.

About 6.20pm (Sunday 10 May 2015), three males allegedly entered a service station on Gavenlock Road, one of whom was armed with a knife.

The males allegedly threatened the attendant, a 22-year-old man, and took cash, cigarettes and food before fleeing the location.

No one was injured during the incident.

Witnesses saw the trio board a bus at the rear of Tuggerah Railway Station.

Officers from Tuggerah Lakes Local Area Command were contacted and stopped the bus about 6.40pm.

The three males were arrested and taken to Wyong Police Station.

A number of items, believed to have been stolen, were also seized from nearby bushland, which will undergo forensic examination.

The males, aged 23, 18 and 13, were charged with robbery in company and refused bail.

The two older males are due to appear before Wyong Local Court today (Monday 11 May 2015); while the 13-year-old boy will appear before Children’s Court today.

Inquiries into the matter are continuing.
