A man has been charged with armed robbery offences after investigations into two robberies in Sydney’s Inner West late last year.

Robbery and Serious Crime Squad detectives have been investigating the two robberies which occurred at a hotel in Camperdown on 2 November 2011 and a loan office at Petersham on 28 November 2011.

In both incidents, staff members were threatened with a firearm, with a machete also used at Camperdown.

Yesterday, detectives arrested a man at Silverwater and charged him with two counts of robbery whilst armed with a dangerous weapon; take and drive conveyance; and be carried in a conveyance.

He was remanded in custody to face Burwood Local Court today.

Investigations into the robberies are continuing under Strike Force Astvale and further arrests are anticipated.
