Police have charged a woman following investigations into an alleged attempted armed robbery that occurred in Milbank, Bundaberg this afternoon, Queensland Police say.
Police were called to a takeaway shop on Bourbong Street around 12.50pm following reports that a woman armed with a knife was being restrained by the store employees.
On arrival, police arrested a 46-year-old woman and later charged her with one count each of attempted armed robbery and serious assault of person over 60 years.
Police will allege the woman made demands for cash while brandishing a knife, and when the male employee refused, the woman grabbed the female employee. The employees managed to restrain the woman until police arrived.
The store employees – a 68-year-old man and a 67-year-old woman – did not sustain any physical injuries as a result of the incident.
The 46-year-old Branyan woman is due to appear in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court tomorrow, March 28.
