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.
