ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an aggravated robbery at the 7-Eleven Service Station in Melba last night (Sunday, December 1).

Around 9.30pm, a man entered the service station on Chinner Street, armed with a knife and threatened an employee making demands for cash and cigarettes.

The employee complied with the demands, handing over a sum of cash and cigarettes before the man fled the store.  He was last seen running in a southerly direction from the rear of the service station.

The man is described as 180cm (5’11”) tall with a slim build. At the time of the robbery his face was concealed by a scarf and he was wearing dark coloured clothing.

No one was injured during the incident.
