A 19-year-old man has been charged following an attempted robbery in Rudheath.

Jack Joynson, of Middlewich Road, Northwich, appeared at Warrington Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 2 July, via a video link, to answer charges of attempted robbery and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.

The charges relate to an incident at a Post Office in Wright Avenue, Rudheath.

A Post Office worker sustained a minor injury to his arm during the incident. He did not require hospital treatment.

They have since been released on conditional bail.
