SYDNEY, April 19 AAP - A silver Porsche, stolen in a carjacking, has now been used
in an armed robbery on Sydney's lower north shore.

The Porsche 911 was stolen from a woman outside her home in Northbridge by two men
on Tuesday evening and used in an armed robbery at St Leonards at about 1am (AEST) today.

Police said two security guards, at a tavern on the Pacific Highway in St Leonards,
were forced to the ground by three men carrying firearms and a machete.

The armed men then stole a pistol from one of the guards before fleeing in the Porsche,
which was being driven by a fourth man.
