Two men, aged 18 and 19, have been charged after the Murgon Fruit Mart was allegedly robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Police will allege that just after 11:00am, the men entered the business on Macalister Street and threatened an employee with a knife and a metal tool before taking a cash register and a charity donation tin.<\/p>\n

About 6:15pm, police located both men at a Bell Street, Cherbourg, address.<\/p>\n

A police officer\u00a0 was allegedly assaulted during the arrest and later received treatment for injuries to his arm and face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An 18-year-old Cherbourg man has been charged with robbery and unlawful use of a motor vehicle.<\/p>\n
