A 37-year-old man has been arrested after allegedly intimidating a worker at a Griffith pharmacy.

Last Tuesday (13 January), the man visited the chemist and was involved in an incident with staff, who contacted the police for help.

Officers located the man a short distance away, and he was arrested and taken to Griffith Police Station.

The man was charged with three offences: larceny, being armed with the intention of committing an indictable offence, and an additional sequence of intimidating a retail worker, but with no actual bodily harm caused.

The man will soon front Griffith Local Court.
