Officers from Newcastle City Police District attended the scene and searched the area but were unable to locate the woman.
Following inquiries, around 3pm yesterday (Wednesday 17 April 2019) police executed a search warrant at a home on Douglas Street, Stockton, where they seized several items.
A 35-year-old woman was arrested and taken to Waratah Police Station and charged with robbery armed with offensive weapon.
