Tomahawk bandit in court

Liam Croy, The West Australian March 19, 2013, 10:28 am

An 18-year-old Maddington man will face court today charged with holding up two Gosnells stores with a tomahawk earlier this month.

Police will allege that about 5.45pm on Wednesday, March 6, the man entered a noodle bar on Albany Highway, threatened a staff member with the tomahawk and stole cash.

Minutes later, he allegedly held-up a nearby bakery, again brandishing a tomahawk, and stolen cash.

The man is due to appear in Perth Magistrates Court this morning.
