Perth City detectives have charged a 25 year old North Perth man with Armed Robbery after
an incident on Monday morning (9 May 2011).

It will be alleged he caught a taxi from an address in Tuart Hill and asked to be driven to
West Perth.

At about 6:15am, as the taxi was travelling on Vincent Street North Perth the man has pulled
a knife from his pocket and threatened the taxi driver, demanding his wallet.

The taxi driver gave the man a small amount of cash before the offender fled from the taxi
and ran down Vincent Street in a westerly direction.

The 43 year old taxi driver was uninjured in the robbery.

The man was charged with Armed Robbery and will appear in the Perth Magistrate’s Court
today.
