A man armed with a rifle attempted to rob a post office at Ellen Grove this morning.

The man entered the Waterford Road business around 8.30am, threatened a male employee and demanded cash.

The employee dived under the front counter and the offender fled the store empty handed.

He was last seen leaving in a stolen white 2012 Toyota Corolla sedan with Queensland registration 412SQW.

The man is described as approximately 180cms tall, obese and was wearing a black balaclava, long sleeved black jumper, light blue jeans and white shoes.

No one was physically injured during the robbery and police investigations are continuing.
