Two men allegedly involved in an armed robbery in 2003 have now been charged over the incident almost ten years later.

It will be alleged the two men, a 26 year old Lynwood man and a 27 year old Willetton man, entered the Caltex Star Mart on High Road in Riverton just after midnight on 21 September 2003. In company with another man, the 27 year old threatened the service attendant with a knife while the 26 year old man stood near the front door. An amount of cash was handed to the man, before all three fled the scene. Both men have been charged with Aggravated Armed Robbery after they presented at Cannington Police Station overnight.

The 26 year old man will appear before the Perth Children’s Court today (he was 16 years at the time of the offence). The 27 year old, who was 18 years old at the time, will appear before the Perth Magistrates Court today.
