Two men have been charged after a man was allegedly robbed and detained in Sydney's Inner West earlier this year.
During the evening of Wednesday 22 June 2022, a 62-year-old man was confronted by two men in his home on Thompson Street at Drummoyne.
The men, who were armed with a baton, demanded cash before ordering the man to drive to a nearby ATM.
He was then allegedly made to withdraw and hand over cash.
After returning to the Drummoyne home, the men stole his Holden Malibu before fleeing in the vehicle.
