Two arrested after Bunbury pharmacy robbery

Two people were arrested yesterday after allegedly committing an armed robbery at a pharmacy in South Bunbury.

Police will allege a 39-year-old man was carrying a syringe filled with a red liquid when he entered the pharmacy on Spencer Street about 2.15pm.

A police spokesman said the man exited the store with cash and medication and left the area in a car with a 26-year-old Nannup woman.

They were stopped by police on Bussell Highway and arrested a short time later.

The man and his alleged accomplice have been charged with armed robbery and are due to appear before Bunbury Magistrate’s Court today.

Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
