Charges after pharmacy attacks

Regional Investigations Unit detectives say they have charged a woman in relation to two incidents on Sunday and Monday at the same pharmacy in North Fremantle.

They say that at about 8:30am on Sunday a woman entered the pharmacy on Stirling Highway, North Fremantle and presented a prescription for a certain medication.

'While processing the order it was established the woman was no longer entitled to the medication, and when informed of that she took the medication and ran from the pharmacy,' detectives said.

'About 2:55pm on Monday its alleged the same woman entered the same pharmacy and walked directly behind the counter and threatened the Pharmacist with a knife, demanding the same medication.

'The pharmacist complied with the demands and handed over an amount of medication.

'Officers from Fremantle Detectives located the person of interest, and arrested her and handed her over to the Regional Investigations Unit for further investigation.

'It will be alleged the accused was responsible for both of the incidents.'

A 30 year old woman from Alfred Cove has been charged with one count each of Stealing and Armed Robbery, and will appear in the Fremantle Magistrates Court.
