A man's been charged, after allegedly stealing $50,000 from a Lake Macquarie pub on the weekend.
Police allege, the 18-year-old broke into a locked safe at a Gateshead venue, early last Friday morning.
Officers in Sydney arrested the man at a Pyrmont casino on Thursday afternoon.
They seized $4500 in cash, and around $1400 in casino chips, finding more when they searched the man's car, as well as two extendable batons.
Police also seized electronic items and items believed to be the proceeds of crime when they searched at a hotel room at Pyrmont and a home in Charlestown.
He was refused bail to appear in court.
