Police are investigating the armed robbery of a take-away sandwich store at Auburn last night.

About 7:25pm, Sunday 1 September 2013, two men were working in the store on Parramatta Road when a male entered the premises.

He ordered some food before trying to force his way behind the counter and threatening one of the men with a knife.

Both men ran from the store and called police while the armed man stole cash from the register.

Police from Flemington Local Area Command attended the scene within a few minutes, however the man had already fled the area.

Detectives are now investigating the robbery and are looking for a man who has been described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance, aged in his 20s, and with facial stubble.

He was wearing a dark-coloured baseball cap, black hooded jumper and dark tracksuit pants.
