A man is due to front court next month accused of holding up a popular Cardiff pub earlier this week.
Police say two masked men entered the Iron Horse Hotel on Main Road just before 12.30 on Tuesday morning and threatened a male and female employee with a handgun and meat cleaver before taking off with a cash register.
The workers were shaken but not injured.
Inquiries led to a series of late-night raids at Wallsend, Maryland and New Lambton, with Police seizing a blue Ford Falcon, a motorcycle, ammunition, a small amount of the drug ice and a firearm part.
A 32-year-old man was arrested at Wallsend - he's been refused bail to face Toronto Court on February 1.
Inquiries are continuing.
