Police from the Public Transport Command have arrested a man at a Lake Macquarie railway station over an alleged armed robbery on a Sydney pharmacy.
Police say the 30-year-old from Merewether entered the chemist shop at Glebein Sydney's inner west at about 3.40pm on Wednesday and threatened staff, telling them he was armed, and demanded prescription medication.
He was given an amount of medication and ran off.
Following inquiries, police arrested the man at Cardiff Railway Station at about 7.00pm on Wednedsay.
He's been refused bail to face Newcastle Local Court today (Thursday 17 February, 2022) charged with robbery armed with an offensive weapon.
