Police are appealing for information after an armed robbery at a Dubbo service station today.

About 6.25am (Thursday 2 August 2018), a man entered the service station on Cobra Street and threatened the female console operator with a small axe and demanded cash.

The console operator complied with the demand and was also forced to handover her mobile phone.

The man left the store and was last seen south on Fitzroy Street.

Police would like to speak with a man who may be able to assist the investigation.

He is described as being of Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander appearance with a thin build, 170 to 180cm tall and possibly unshaven.

The man was last seen wearing a hooded jumper and dark-coloured track pants.
