Detectives from Glen Eira Bayside Crime Investigation Unit have charged a man following an alleged armed robbery at an Ormond jewellery store last month.

The alleged robbery took place in Katandra Road about 1.30pm on 24 November, where a man armed with a firearm made demands to a staff member for a safe to be opened.

The victim refused and an altercation allegedly took place where the victim was struck on the head with the firearm.

Detectives executed a search warrant on the morning of Friday 16 December morning at a residential address in Stephanie Court, Carrum Downs where a 59-year-old Carrum Downs man was arrested.

The man was charged with armed robbery and other associated offences; and has been remanded to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 21 December.
