Pillowcase robbery
A 37-YEAR-OLD Goodna man has been charged with attempted armed robbery after he allegedly tried to hold up a Thorneside store on Saturday about 6pm.

He allegedly lifted the pillowcase, revealing his face, when the staff member did not understand his demands.

The staff member attempted to give chase with a piece of wood, but the man got away.
Police will allege a man was later identified through CCTV footage and arrested by police.
