Police are appealing for information from the public following an armed robbery at a fast food outlet in Budgewoi on the state’s Central Coast.

About 10.10pm last night (Tuesday 10 September, 2013), a man entered the outlet in Lake Street armed with a shortened rifle.

The man approached the counter area and demanded the two employees to hand over money. The man ran from the store in a westerly direction with a quantity of cash.

At the time of the incident there were no customers in the store and no one was injured.

The man is described as being slim to medium build, about 155cm tall, with brown eyes.

Police are also investigating if a white van parked near the Budgewoi Bridge is involved. It left the area heading towards The Entrance about the same time the man left the store.

Investigations are continuing.
