A Queensland service station worker was held at knifepoint while the petrol station she was working at was being robbed, police allege.
A 29-year-old man allegedly threatened the female worker with a knife on March 24, as he took a large chunk of cash and cigarettes before fleeing the service station in Alexandra Hills in a vehicle that was allegedly stolen.
The woman was not harmed in the incident.
Methamphetamine, a homemade firearm and the stolen goods from the armed robbery was allegedly found by police inside the car used to flee the scene.
Police then arrested a Woodridge man they found inside a licenced liquor venue in Logan.
He was charged with eight counts of armed robbery, one count of attempted armed robbery, possessing dangerous drugs, failure to properly dispose of a needle and syringe, unlawful possession of weapons and possessing anything for use in the commission of crime.
The man was refused bail and is due to appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court on March 27.
