TWO men have been arrested and charged in relation to the armed robberies of two Capalaba venues last week.
Police allege a 31-year-old from Berrinba in Logan and a 27-year-old from Rothwell west of Redcliffe robbed two business within half an hour of each other in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The men, both brandishing guns, entered a business on Moreton Bay Road about 2.15am where they allegedly held up employees and stole cash.
About 15 minutes later they allegedly stole more money from the gaming room of a Old Cleveland Road venue before fleeing the scene.
Their vehicle, a blue Hyundai, was found burnt out at Logan in the aftermath.
Detectives from the Bayside CIB investigated the crimes and charged the men with a string of offences.
They appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Monday and were remanded in custody.
