At around 7pm a man entered the Colburn Avenue business armed with a white coloured metal bar and demanded cash.

The man left the business with cash and alcohol.

The store attendant, a 24-year-old Victoria Point man, was not physically injured.

The man is described as being of Caucasian appearance, around 170cm tall with a thin build. He was wearing a black hooded jumper, tan three-quarter length shorts, black shoes and a red balaclava.
