Police searched a home in Macquarie where they found the man hiding behind a couch.
The man was arrested in relation to a robbery at the Ginninderra Pharmacy on Nettleford Street about 8.20pm on Sunday January 29.
Police say the man walked to the back of the store, where a staff member offered hims assistance however when informed he would need a script for the medication he wanted, the man pushed past the staff member and went into the store room.
The man walked out of the store room to the dispensary area where, after looking through baskets of pre-filled scripts, grabbed a box of medication and ran from the store.
He faces the ACT Magistrates Court today where he will be charged with robbery. Police will be opposing bail.
