Charges laid over bottle shop robbery

Police have charged a 34-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, both from Clarendon Vale, with armed robbery after an incident in Rosny last night.

Police allege the man entered a bottle shop near Eastlands about 8.40pm wearing a balaclava and carrying what is now confirmed to be a toy gun.

The alleged offender reportedly stole a quantity of alcohol before leaving the scene in a vehicle that is believed to have been driven by the woman.

No physical injuries were reported in the incident.

Police arrested the man and woman at a residence in Gagebrook this morning (11 June) without incident.

The man and woman will appear before the Hobart Magistrates Court on 21 September, 2026.
