THE supermarket at the Swinger Hill shops was robbed of cash on Thursday by an armed man.
During the robbery, police allege the man pointed the handgun at several supermarket staff, however no one was injured during the incident.
The man took off in a white Hyundai i30 that police say had been allegedly stolen from a home in Kambah earlier that morning.
A 28-year-old Kambah man was arrested at 11.25am. Police found a revolver-style handgun concealed in his trousers.
He has been charged with aggravated robbery with an offensive weapon, driving a stolen motor vehicle, possession of a prohibited firearm, driving while unlicensed, and breaching parole.
