Armed Crime Squad detectives are appealing for public assistance after a man robbed a gaming venue in Mulgrave on 29 February.

Officers have been told a man armed with a firearm entered the hotel on Dandenong Road about 10.45pm.

The offender threatened the attendant and made demands for cash.

A small amount of cash was handed over and the bandit fled the scene.

It is believed he fled via the rear of the hotel and drove away in a dark coloured Mitsubishi Magna sedan.

The offender is described as about 185cm tall, with a thin build and light coloured hair.

He was wearing a black baseball cap with a white ‘Stussy’ logo, black hooded jacket, runners and a black bandana covering his face.

Investigators have released images of a man that may be able to assist with their enquiries.
