Detectives from the Bendigo Crime Investigation Unit are appealing for information following an armed robbery in Flora Hill yesterday.

It’s believed a man entered the Somerville Street rental business about 2.40pm.

Upon entering, it’s alleged that the man walked behind the counter, lifted his top and pointed to an item which was wedged down the front of his pants.

He then proceeded to remove cash from the till before fleeing on foot toward Nish Street.

Police have released a FACE fit image of a man they wish to speak to.

“We’d really like anyone with information to come forward,” Senior Constable Heath Barker said.

“We’ll have an information caravan set up in a car park near the corner of Somerville and Townsend Roads on Wednesday from 11am.

“Whether or not you think the information you have is big or small, we’d really like to hear it.”
