SYDNEY, Feb 1 AAP - A man charged over two armed robberies has been granted conditional
bail in a Sydney court.

Jhad Jodeh, 19, of Merrylands, appeared in Parramatta Local Court today charged over
the robberies on October 9 and 11 last year.

In the first incident, police allege a security guard was threatened by a man with
a gun after collecting cash from a fast food restaurant at Enfield, in Sydney's west.

Police were told the armed offender fled on a motorbike with a bag of money.

Two other men also were believed to have been present at the time.

Two days later, two men wearing motorcycle helmets allegedly demanded money from a
service station attendant in Auburn, in Sydney's south-west.

Police allege a number of shots were fired before the men fled with a sum of cash.

No-one was injured.

Jodeh was arrested yesterday by Robbery and Serious Crime Squad detectives attached
to Strike Force Maraket, established to investigate the robberies.

He was later charged with two counts of robbery while armed with a dangerous weapon.

He will face Burwood Local Court on February 7.
