A man has been charged following the armed robbery of a service station at Murrumba Downs last night.

It will be alleged around 10.30pm a man entered the Blyth Road business, selected some items for sale and approached the front counter.

The man then allegedly produced a knife and demanded money from the male shop attendant, who refused.

Police located the man a short time later and took him into custody without incident.

A 23-year-old Kallangur man has been charged with armed robbery and possess tainted property and is due to appear in Pine Rivers Magistrates Court on March 19.
