Police have made a quick arrest following a robbery at a Morphett Vale fast food restaurant last night.
Just after 9pm on Tuesday 13 July, a man allegedly armed with a knife entered a fast food restaurant at the corner of Pimpala Road and Booth Avenue and threatened staff. He demanded cash before leaving in a vehicle with money from the store.
Thankfully no one was physically injured.
Witnesses were able to get a registration number for the getaway car to pass on to attending patrols.
Police attended the registered owner’s address at Old Reynella and intercepted the suspect vehicle as it pulled into the driveway.
A 33-year-old man from Old Reynella was arrested and charged with aggravated robbery. He was refused police bail and will appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court today.
