A man has been denied bail at Taree Local Court today after allegedly attempting to rob the Caltex Service Centre at Purfleet early this morning.
Police claim the 27 year old threatened two staff members with a knife, demanding cash.
They were able to lock themselves in a staff room, while the man allegedly grabbed the till.
Police say when they arrived, the man was trying to escape.
“It’s quite possible he’s somehow because sort of trapped inside the area of the services station and he didn’t really seem to realise how to get out through the doors,” said Det. Chief Insp. Neil Stephens
He will reappear before the court on December 5.
