A GUN-WIELDING robber threatened a shop worker before fleeing with cash.
A man went into Martins Newsagents in Northcourt Road about 6pm on Friday and threatened a woman working there with a gun before demanding money.
The woman handed over an undisclosed quantity of cash and the man fled the store. She then raised the alarm.
Police said the victim was shaken, but unharmed.
A 28-year-old man was then charged over the weekend.
James Paulo Giancarlo Allan, of Hanson Road, Abingdon, has been charged with one count of robbery, one count of possessing an imitation firearm and one count of criminal damage.
He is being held in custody until today, when he will appear before Oxford Magistrates’ Court.
Police last night refused to say how much was taken. A member of staff at Martins said she could not comment.
