A 40-year-old man has been arrested and charged with robbery after allegedly threatening staff and stealing cash from an eatery in Wellington last night. <\/p>\n
Wellington Area Prevention Manager Inspector Jason McCarthy said they were called about a man who allegedly demanded cash and handed a threatening note to counter staff at an inner-city eatery on Manners Street just after 9pm. <\/p>\n
The man took over $400 and fled the scene. No-one was hurt.<\/p>\n
“Police arrived quickly and made inquiries to track the man down, arresting him on Manners Street. The cash was also recovered,” said McCarthy. <\/p>\n
