Police are investigating the armed robbery of a petrol station at Campsie last night
About 10:40pm, Saturday 11 October 2014, a 26-year-old man was working in the petrol station on Bexley Road when a man entered the store.

The employee was in the process of cleaning fridges when the man approached from behind and pushed him to the ground.

He was threatened with a knife and forced to walk over to the counter and open the cash register.

The armed man stole cash from the register before lunging out with the knife and nicking the man’s hand. He then ran off towards Vicliffe Avenue.

Police from Campsie and Ashfield Local Area Command attended and established a perimeter before conducting a search of the area with the assistance of the Dog Unit but were unable to locate the armed man.

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old man was treated at the scene by paramedics for a minor injury to his hand.

He was wearing a navy blue jumper, black Adidas tracksuit pants with white stripes down the sides and black Nike joggers.
