TWO men have been arrested following an aggravated robbery at McDonald’s in Conder on Monday (October 2), where one man jumped through the drive-through window and threatened staff with a knife. 

At about 4am on Monday, a staff member of the McDonalds opened the drive-through window to serve a customer. At this time, one of the men, armed with a knife, jumped through the open window.

Other staff members present were instructed to sit on the ground while the man made demands for cash. After taking a sum of cash from the safe and the cash register, the offender fled the restaurant on foot through the backdoor.
