A 40-year-old man has appeared in court charged with robbing a petrol station in Thetford.

Paul Tyler, of Prior Stephen Way, in Thetford, was arrested yesterday in connection with the robbery of £100 from the Nun's Bridges Filling Station in Bury Road, Thetford on October 15.

Tyler faced Bury St Edmunds Magistrates' Court today and was released on bail on conditions not to go within 500 metres of the filling station and not contact two witnesses.

His next court appearance will be at Norwich Crown Court on May 15.
