A woman has been charged after allegedly ramming a car and robbing a pregnant woman at knifepoint in Albury earlier this week.
Police say that at around 8.30pm on Tuesday, the victim and her partner – aged 27 and 35 – were sitting in a sedan at Barnabale Way, Springdale Heights, when their vehicle was allegedly struck from behind by a blue hatchback.
A woman armed with a knife then allegedly exited the hatchback and threatened the man and woman before stealing the car keys to the sedan and leaving the scene.
The 27-year-old woman, who is currently 25 weeks pregnant, and her partner were shaken but not physically harmed during the incident.
Following inquiries, a 41-year-old woman was arrested at a unit on Thurgoona Street, Albury, yesterday.
In a subsequent search of the woman and her belongings, police seized cannabis and methylamphetamine (ice).
She was taken to Albury Police Station and charged with robbery armed with offensive weapon, two counts of use offensive weapon to commit indictable offence, and two counts of possess prohibited drug.
The woman was refused bail to appear in Albury Local Court today.
