Police Step Up Manhunt For Williamtown Maccas Bandits

BY IAN CROUCH

Police have arrested one of the three bandits accused of the violent armed robbery at the Williamtown McDonalds in January.

They've now released security footage in the hope someone will recognise the other two alleged culprits.

Detectives from Strike Force Shirley arrested an 18-year-old man during a raid on a home in Shearman Avenue at Raymond Terrace yesterday.

They also seized a Holden Commodore.

He, along with two other men, are accused of storming the Nelson Bay Road restaurant at about 10.50pm on Wednesday 25 January, 2017 and approached the front counter armed with guns and baseball bats.


They threatened staff before escaping with cash.

A male staff member was struck in the arm with a baseball bat during the hold-up.
