A MAN has been arrested in connection with two robberies in North Solihull.
The 37-year-old man was detained only hours after police issued CCTV images of two incidents which happened in the space of five days.
The first robbery occurred at Lloyds Pharmacy on the Chester Road, Castle Bromwich, on Wednesday (November 25). Yesterday afternoon a second incident was reported at Life Style Express, in Tulip Walk, Chelmsley Wood.
It is alleged that staff at both stores were threatened with a knife and that cash was stolen from the premises.
The suspect, of no fixed abode, is being questioned on suspicion of robbery.
Det Sgt Andy O'Keeffe said detectives had received a number of calls following yesterday's appeal and thanked the public for coming forward with the information.
