A man in his 40s has been arrested in connection with a knife-point robbery at a Fakenham social club.
We reported last month how a 69-year-old woman was threatened with a knife at The Press Club on Oak Street, at around 9.30am on Sunday, February 3.
She was a volunteer at the club and she twice refused to open the safe, despite being punched in the face.
She only relented her attacker jabbed her in the cheek with a blade.
Norfolk Police have now confirmed that a man in his 40s from the local area was arrested yesterday and released on police bail pending further inquiries.
