Man in court over Sydney armed hold-up Two men have been charged over a brazen armed robbery attempt outside a Sydney shopping centre. A MAN accused of the armed hold-up of an Armaguard van outside Sydney's Broadway shopping centre has also been charged over similar crimes. The 26-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared before Newtown local court on Monday charged with seven offences. His co-accused, a 20-year-old male, is expected to appear before Fairfield local court. Police allege the two accused were among four men who held up an Armaguard vehicle outside Broadway shopping centre on Monday last week. A cafe worker captured on video three armed men attempting to rob the vehicle, while a getaway driver waited in a stolen 2008 Audi RS-6. The 26-year-old has been charged with seven offences, including stealing one of the Armaguard security guard's Smith & Wesson pistols and firing it into a glass awning above the crime scene. The offenders were armed with two assault rifles and a handgun. A Glock pistol was also seized when police raided his Marrickville home. Police allege the Glock is linked to more than 100 illegal weapons previously imported from Germany to Australia. Court documents show the 26-year-old has also been charged with committing perjury to secure an acquittal for himself and four alleged co-offenders in September last year. The co-accused are still before the court and cannot be named for legal reasons. He was also charged with dealing with proceeds of crime amounting to $1.2 million. Police allege that offence relates to the first six months of 2009 and the proceeds were the result of armed robberies. The man is scheduled to appear before Sydney's Central local court via audiovisual link on April 18.
