Two men have been charged with robbery after a cash box was taken from a security guard at the Asda store in Stoke Park Drive on Saturday morning.

Police were called to Stoke Park Drive at 11.27am to reports that the box had been taken outside Asda. The female security guard was knocked over but was unhurt. The cash box was located close to where the robbery took place.

A man was arrested at Ipswich Docks around half an hour after the incident took place, and a second man was arrested at a house in Ipswich later that evening.

Nico Hurd, 21, of Worsdell Close in Ipswich, and 18-year-old Jordan Bernard of Neath Drive in Ipswich, have both been charged and detained in police custody to appear before South East Suffolk Magistrates Court this morning.
