Just after 8pm (Sunday 6 October 2013), a vehicle stopped outside a bottle shop on Pembroke Road.

Two men approached the 33-year-old staff member at the front of the store and threatened him with a firearm.

The pair demanded money, before fleeing the location with an amount of cash. The staff member was not injured during the incident.

Officers attached to Campbelltown Local Area Command were called and launched an investigation.

A crime scene was established and examined by specialist forensic officers and detectives.
