Two connected robbery incidents occurred in the CBD and the Inner West yesterday, as a woman and a cafe were robbed by two men early in the morning. Police say a 22-year old woman was robbed at around 4.20am after a car stopped next to her on Sussex Street.

A passenger exited the vehicle and grabbed the woman’s handbag before fleeing the area. The woman was said to be thrown to the ground during the robbery, but has been reported as unharmed.

Police also believe the vehicle was involved in a crash on George Street with another car before the incident.

Police say the two men then went on to a cafe Northumberland Avenue in Stanmore at 7.45am, and threatened a 31-year-old woman with a metal object. The men demanded money and fled the cafe with a reported $1700 in cash from the register.
