A Melbourne man charged over a $2 million jewellery heist has been remanded in custody.
Masoud Izadi, 60, faced Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday after he was charged with armed robbery and assault-related offences.
It's alleged the Pakenham man and another accused entered a Dandenong jewellery store late last year, assaulting a worker before robbing the store.
The pair allegedly took off with pendants, rings, bracelets and necklaces worth more than $2m.
Izadi appeared at court in person and was assisted by a Farsi translator throughout the hearing.
His lawyer told the magistrate it was the 60-year-old's first time in custody and he needed treatment for a broken left wrist and injured knee.
Izadi did not apply for bail and was instead remanded in custody ahead of a committal mention hearing in April.
The prosecution has been given six weeks to compile a brief of evidence, including CCTV footage.
Izadi's co-accused, a 66-year-old man from Doncaster, is due to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday afternoon.
