Knife-wielding woman arrested

At around 8.00pm on April 19, a 24-year-old woman was confronted at her home in Cutler Avenue by another woman, brandishing a knife. The attacker demanded specific property from the young woman and then fled the scene.

After police were contacted, they arrested a 44-year-old woman the next day and charged her with robbery and similar offences. The woman was refused bail and will appear before Griffith Local Court on April 22.

Police are continuing to investigate the two utes that were completely destroyed in Banna Avenue.

The utes were discovered ablaze at around 2.00am on April 19, parked next to each other on Prods Straight. Both cars were parked there in order to be sold.

The cause of the fires is currently unknown, however the fires are being treated as suspicious.
