A man and a woman have both been refused bail after being charged over an alleged armed robbery at a pharmacist.
Grace Emily Larkham, 23, is charged with aggravated robbery, driving/ riding a motor vehicle without consent and possessing an offensive weapon with intent.
Her co-accused, 32 year old Kiran James Eichmann, is charged with failing to stop a motor vehicle for police, driving while disqualified, drug driving, aggravated burglary, possessing an offensive weapon with intent and riding/ driving a motor vehicle without consent.
According to a statement from ACT Policing, at 10.45pm on Sunday police received reports of two people at Capital Chemist O’Connor demanding cash and prescription medication while wielding a syringe, nail gun and hammer.
Police allege when officers arrived at the pharmacy Mr Eichmann and Ms Larkham fled in a stolen Toyota HiLux.
According to the statement officers attached to the Territory Targeting Team located the HiLux and attempted to stop the vehicle in the suburb of Campbell.
The driver allegedly drove away from police at a high speed.
Police allege they located the car again on the Monaro Highway and used stop sticks to stop the vehicle before arresting the duo.
Ms Larkham applied for bail on Monday, which was refused by Magistrate Robert Cook, while Mr Eichmann did not apply for bail.
The pair will return to court later this month.
