A fourth man has been charged following investigations into a series of armed robberies across the Lake Macquarie region earlier this year.
Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Robbery and Serious Crime Squad established Strike Force Bergs to investigate eight armed robberies at bowling clubs and a golf club, which occurred between February and May 2019.
As part of their inquiries, three men – aged 24, 27 and 36 – were arrested and charged by strike force detectives last month. They remain before the courts.
Following further investigations, police arrested a 29-year-old man at a home in Tamworth about 10am today (Thursday 25 July 2019).
He was taken to Tamworth Police Station and charged with two counts of robbery armed with offensive weapon.
Police will allege in court this was in connection with an armed robbery at a club in Toronto on Friday 24 May 2019.
The man was refused bail to appear before Tamworth Local Court today (Thursday 25 July 2019).
Investigations under Strike Force Bergs continue.
