After an extensive search of the area by Morningside general duties police, a man and a woman were located in a street behind the supermarket and allegedly in possession of a large amount of cash.

A 25-year-old Bellbird Park man has been charged with armed robbery and is due to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday, August 8.

A 25-year-old Slacks Creek woman was issued with a notice to appear for receiving tainted property.

No one was physically injured during the robbery.
