A 42-year-old Kingaroy man has been charged with armed robbery following an incident at a Bundaberg hair salon on Saturday morning.

Police allege that about 11:15am, the man entered the shop and threatened a female staff member with a knife. He then fled on foot with a sum of cash.

The staff member and a customer were not physically hurt.

Police say they located the man a short time later and found clothing and a knife at a house.

The man has been charged with armed robbery, entering premises with intent and two counts of deprivation of liberty.

He remains in custody and is due to appear in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Monday.
