Police have charged a second person over an alleged armed robbery at a Newcastle pub earlier this year.
Detectives allege the 32-year-old woman acted as the getaway driver for a 32-year-old man who allegedly held-up The Royal Inn at Waratah.
The Newcastle Herald reported previously that a man armed with a gun entered the licensed premises on Station Street about 10am on April 18 and threatened patrons before he fled with cash.

No-one was injured during the heist, but the State Crime Command's Robbery and Serious Crimes Squad formed Strike Force Yard to investigate the incident.
They charged the 32-year-old man in April and he remains before the courts.
But police had another breakthrough on Tuesday, when they charged a 32-year-old woman with robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon in relation to the incident.
She was arrested just before 9am at Silverwater Correctional Complex, where she was being held on an unrelated charge.
The woman will face Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.
