A 27-year-old man has faced court over an alleged armed robbery at a service station and fish van in Singleton.

Jason Kevin Lyons was arrested by heavily armed police at a property in Furnissdale on Saturday after a 24-hour manhunt.

The Keysbrook man is accused of robbing the service station and the Fisho van on Mandurah Road on Thursday afternoon, armed with a gun.

He allegedly stole cigarettes and cash and fled on foot, sparking a huge police response including the police airwing and the dog squad.

Lyons appeared in the Perth Magistrates Court on Sunday where he did not apply for bail or enter a plea to his charges of two counts of armed robbery.
