Three people have been charged over a robbery with a knife in South Maitland last year.

Police from Strike Force Benni raided a home at Riley Street, East Maitland on Wednesday, seizing a number of items.

They also arrested a woman, 34 and a man, 35 at the house over the alleged holdup in October. Both were refused bail to face Raymond Terrace Court on Thursday.

An 18-year-old woman who is already behind bars at Silverwater prison was also charged.

The Strike Force continues to investigate other holdups in Maitland, Raymond Terrace, Heatherbrae, Islington and Muswellbrook.
