An 18-year-old man has been charged with the aggravated robbery of a Napier dairy.
A male armed with a machete entered Te Awa Store on June 15, before fleeing after being knocked to the ground with a garden hoe wielded by the proprietor's father-in-law.
The robber allegedly took a small quantity of cigarettes.
The 18-year-old man was due to appear in Hastings District Court on Friday afternoon.
