A man has been arrested over an aggravated robbery at a Taperoo deli yesterday morning.
Just before 6.20am on Saturday 8 December, police were called to a business on Strathfield Terrace after a vigilant motorist reported seeing a suspicious man entering the shop.
The man, who was allegedly armed with a knife, entered the shop and demanded cash from staff before fleeing the scene on foot. Thankfully, no one was physically injured during the incident.
Patrols, along with dog operations officers and PD Arnie, searched the area but were unable to locate the offender.
As a result of investigations, Western District Detectives arrested a 48-year-old Taperoo man this evening with aggravated robbery, theft and deception. He was refused police bail and is expected to appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court tomorrow.
