Rockhampton detectives have charged a 44-year-old Berserker man in relation to an alleged attempted armed robbery of a Berserker business on February 6. According to reports, the man entered a Musgrave Street store at approximately 6:30 pm, brandishing a large machete, and threatened two employees.
Fortunately, the man left empty-handed after one of the employees threw a chair at him. While the two employees were not physically harmed, the incident must have been a terrifying experience for them.
The 44-year-old suspect has been charged with attempted robbery – use/threaten violence armed/pretends to be armed or in company. He is scheduled to appear at Rockhampton Magistrates court on March 8. It is not clear whether he has entered a plea or retained legal counsel.
The incident underscores the importance of workplace safety and the need for employees to be prepared for unexpected events. It also highlights the critical role of law enforcement officers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe. Hopefully, the outcome of this case will serve as a reminder to potential offenders that crime does not pay and that justice will be served.
