Police have charged two men following an armed robbery in Sydney’s eastern suburbs last night.

Shortly after 11.30pm (Monday 23 April 2012), two men allegedly forced entry into a pub on Denison Street, Bondi Junction, armed with a screwdriver.

Upon seeing the two men, a male and female employee hid inside the premises.

The two men unsuccessfully attempted to remove money from an ATM.

They left the premises and entered a blue Holden Commodore which was being driven by a third man.

Police from Eastern Suburbs Local Area Command were patrolling the area when they saw the men enter the car.

The car attempted to drive off and hit the police vehicle.

Three men then ran from the car and police followed them on foot.

Police arrested a 35-year-old man in Oxford Street, Bondi Junction, and a 41-year-old man in Magney Street, Woollahra, and took them to Waverley Police Station.

They were both subsequently charged with aggravated break and enter with intent to commit serious indictable offence, malicious damage and stalk/intimidate. The older man was also charged with two counts of assault police.

Both men were refused bail to appear at Waverley Local Court later today.

Two police officers were allegedly assaulted, suffering a number of lacerations, while affecting the arrest of the 41-year-old man.

Investigations are continuing to identify and locate the third man.
