Armed robbery with wounding charge, Crestmead
Logan detectives investigating an alleged robbery at Crestmead this evening have charged a man with armed robbery.
It will be alleged a man entered a Waratah Drive bottle shop around 6.30pm and was confronted by a 29-year-old male employee when he tried to walk out without paying for some alcohol a short time later.
A 60-year-old local man, a customer in the store, seeing what was occurring, followed the man outside and attempted to restrain him.
During a brief altercation it will be alleged the 60-year-old man received a significant laceration to his arm from a bladed weapon, before the other man fled the scene, leaving behind the alcohol.
