Man faces string of robbery charges

A MAN has been arrested over an alleged string of armed robberies.

Just after midnight on Tuesday, January 9, a man allegedly entered a licensed venue on Rocky Point Road, Ramsgate, where he unsuccessfully demanded cash and fled the scene.
Around 1am that morning, police were called to a licensed venue on King Georges Road, Beverly Hills, after a man ineffectively demanded cash, before stealing a packet of cigarettes and running out of the venue.
Around 20 minutes later, police were again called but this time to a licensed venue on Haldon Street, Lakemba, after a man futilely demanded cash from staff, before he left in a vehicle.
Just before 2am, police were called to a licensed venue on King Georges Road, Wiley Park, after a man threatened staff with a screwdriver, stole a sum of cash and fled in a white utility.
Shortly afterwards, Campsie Police stopped the white utility on Kathleen Street, Wiley Park, and with the assistance of the Dog Unit, a 28-year-old man was arrested and taken to Campsie Police Station.
