A teenager has been charged after allegedly using a knife to rob a man in a Rutherford carpark.
Police said officers were called about 10.10pm on Sunday January 24 to the Arthur Street carpark following reports of an armed robbery.
A man, 37, sitting in his car was allegedly approached by the teenager, who produced a knife, threatened him and ordered him to hand over his wallet.
The man threw his wallet to the ground and the teenager picked it up and ran from the scene.
