A man has been charged for his role in a string of brazen Sydney robberies.

Police say on September 10 two men, one armed with a sledgehammer and the other with a gun, smashed their way into a money exchange inside a CBD convenience store before fleeing with cash.

Three days later, a number of men crashed a stolen Porsche four-wheel drive into a bank in Kent Street.

The offenders, armed with sledgehammers, stole cash from the tellers.

Again armed with sledgehammers on October 7, two men smashed the front windows of a Pyrmont supermarket before threatening the manager and stealing cash.
