Australia -- A ROBBER wielding an ornamental sword returned to the service station he had allegedly just held up when he realised he had left his haul behind, police say.
The 20-year-old man approached an attendant at a service station in South Perth about 1.30am today and allegedly demanded money and cigarettes.
The attendant took money from the till and packets of cigarettes and placed them in a bag. The offender fled on foot across the Canning Highway before realising he had left the bag in the service station.
Police say he returned to find the door locked and pleaded with the attendant to let him back in for his booty. The attendant refused so the offender fled again.
Police caught up with him several streets away, allegedly still wielding his sword. The man held up the same service station on August 17, police believe.
He was charged with two counts of armed robbery and will appear in Perth Magistrates Court today.
