Police are appealing for information after a bakery was robbed at Casino today.

About 12.15am (Wednesday 10 January 2018), up to four men entered the bakery on Johnston Street and confronted two employees working inside.

Police were told the men were armed with a firearm and a crowbar and demanded cash.

The two employees, aged 54 and 19, complied with the demand.

The men took cash from the till, the men’s wallets and keys and drinks from the shop before leaving in one of the employee’s vehicles.

The car was later found alight in Queensland Street.

Officers from Richmond Local Area Command attended and searched for the men with the assistance of the dog unit, but were unable to locate them.

The men are only described as being of Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander appearance with skinny builds and were wearing dark clothing.
