Police have charged a man following an alleged armed robbery in Sydney’s inner west earlier this month, NSW Police say.
About 8am on Saturday 9 April 2016, two men – one armed with a knife – entered a supermarket on Darling Street, Rozelle.
Police will allege the armed man, aged 35, threatened the 29-year-old store attendant, demanding money.
The men left the scene with cash and tobacco.
Officers from Leichhardt Local Area Command were notified and commenced an investigation.
Following inquiries, about 11.30am today, a 35-year-old Balmain man was arrested on King Street, Newtown.
The man was taken to Mascot Police Station where he was charged with armed robbery with an offensive weapon.
He was refused bail to appear at the Downing Centre Local Court tomorrow.
Inquiries are ongoing and anyone with information about the identity of the second man is urged to come forward.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stopers.
