A member of the public has provided the vital clue which led to the arrest of two people over an armed robbery on a Chinese restaurant at Kurri Kurri last night.
Police say a man entered the Gold Sing restaurant on Lang Street just before 8.00pm armed with a rifle.
Fearing for her safety, a waitress removed cash from behind the counter.
The man took the money and fled, making his getaway in a white Nissan Pulsar driven by a female accomplice.
However, a witness managed to take down the registration number and gave it to police who stopped the car and arrested a 21-year-old man and 28-year-old woman from Weston.
They've been refused bail to face Maitland Local Court today charged with armed robbery.
