A Taree man is due to appear in court after a store in north-western NSW was allegedly held up with a blood-filled syringe, NSW Police say.

Following investigations, a 21-year-old man was arrested at a home in Short Street, Taree, about 2pm yesterday.
He was taken to Taree Police Station where he was charged with robbery while armed with an offensive weapon.
The man was refused bail and will appear in Forster Local Court today.
