MAN REFUSED BAIL AFTER ALLEGEDLY RAISING ROOF IN ARREST

A 24-year-old man allegedly went to great heights to evade arrest overnight, climbing into a Central Coast service station’s roof cavity following an armed hold-up.

Police allege the man entered the Erina business at about 9.30, and used a knife to demand cash.

The female attendant ran into the rear office and locked the doors before the man hid in the roof above the store’s toilets.

He was refused bail in Gosford Court today.
