<\/b>A teenager will appear in court today charged with the armed robbery of a taxi driver in Albury.<\/p>\n
About 8.30pm on Wednesday (1 July 2015), the 62-year-old taxi driver picked up a male passenger on Borella Road. He directed the driver to take him to Lavington, via Eastern Circuit.<\/p>\n
On arrival at Eastern Circuit, the passenger allegedly threatened the driver with a knife, demanding cash.<\/p>\n
The driver declined and attempted to continue to drive, before a struggle ensued between the pair, and the armed person fled from the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Following an appeal for information about the incident, members of the public identified a teenager who may be able to assist police with their inquiries.<\/p>\n
As a result, police attended a home in Gap Road, Glenroy, just before 7.30pm yesterday (Saturday 4 July 2015).<\/p>\n
A 17 year old was arrested at the premises and taken to Albury Police Station.<\/p>\n
He was charged with robbery armed with offensive weapon, and refused bail to appear in a children\u2019s court today (Sunday 5 July 2015).<\/p>\n
