A 19-year-old Ramussen man has been charged with entering a premises and commiting an indictable offence following investigations into an incident at a bottle shop at Kirwan last night.

Police will allege about 7.20pm, three men attempted to steal alcohol from the High Range Drive store when an employee told them to leave.

One of the men allegedly returned to the premises before threatening the attendant with a knife and stealing a quantity of alcohol. No one was physically injured during the incident.

Kirwan Police arrested a 19-year-old man at Rasmussen last night, who it will be alleged was involved in the initial incident.

He was charged with entering a premises with intent to commit and will appear in the Townsville Magistrates Court today.

Investigations are continuing in relation to both incidents.
