    A 19-year-old man has been arrested after last week’s knifepoint robbery at a convenience store in Felixstowe.  

    According to local reports, a 19-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday (13) in Ipswich on suspicion of attempted robbery in Felixstowe and for failure to appear for a court hearing. 

    He has been taken to Martlesham police investigation centre for questioning, where he remains. 

    The incident happened at about 10.20 pm on Sept 13 at the Premier store in Wadgate Road. Suffolk police said a man wearing a balaclava entered the store and demanded that the till be opened, waving a knife at the shopkeeper, Suffolk police said 

    “The suspect produced a knife, demanding the till be opened whilst waving the knife at the victim. The victim attempted to detain the suspect. However, the offender fled the scene,” the police said. 

    “No-one was hurt in the incident, enquiries continue and detectives are confident they will identify the suspect.”
