Police are investigating after an attempted armed robbery incident in a West End service station yesterday afternoon.

Around 3.20pm, a man entered the service station on Ingham Road and approached a female staff member at the counter.

The man produced a syringe and made demands for money, but the staff member refused.

The man fled the store on foot empty-handed, and was last seen meeting up with a second male person before running away from the area.

No one was physically injured during the incident.

Investigations are continuing.
