The owner of a chemist has confronted two intruders with a toy sword after hearing them break into his store.

Police have arrested two men following an alleged burglary at a Caulfield North chemist.

Police were called after the owner – who lives above the store – heard somebody smashing into the store around 10.20pm on Wednesday.

He went downstairs wielding a toy samurai sword.

He confronted them and was assaulted before both fled.

Police arrested two suspects a short distance from the scene shortly after.
