He was arrested by Victoria Police on Tuesday with NSW officers travelling to Melbourne to apply for the man’s extradition.
today, officers escorted the man to Sydney and took him to Botany Bay Police Station where he was charged with robbery in company, and aggravated commit serious indictable offence in dwelling (deprive liberty).
He was refused bail to appear at Central Local Court tomorrow.
He is the third person to be charged over the incident, with two other men currently before the court.
