Police captured and charged a man in Essex yesterday following an alleged knife incident in Insch earlier this year.
Officers received reports of an incident where a man was allegedly threatened with a knife in the Commerce Street area of Insch at around 7.10pm on Thursday, September 14.
They had been called to the Commercial Hotel following reports that a man brandished a weapon at the restaurant’s owner and demanded he hand over valuables.
Following extensive inquiries a 29-year-old man was traced in the Essex area yesterday and was charged with the alleged robbery.
He will appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in due course.
Detective Sergeant John Lumsden said: “Thank you to those members of the public who responded to our appeals for information – your assistance has been greatly appreciated.”
