Police have released images of a man they wish to speak with in relation to the armed robbery of a service station in Koongal last night.

At around 9.20pm a man approached the business on Thozet Road riding a child-sized scooter.

He then went inside the store and entered a staff area where he threatened a 22-year-old female attendant with a nearby pair of scissors, demanding she open the till.

The woman complied and the man removed a sum of cash before demanding cigarettes.

The man then fled the store with the money and cigarettes, riding the scooter towards Rockonia Road.

He is described as Caucasian in appearance, around 170cm tall with a solid build and black hair cut in a distinctive mohawk style.

The man was wearing an orange high-vis jumper with dark coloured cargo pants, work boots and was carrying a duffel bag (pictured).

Anyone who may recognise the man or know his whereabouts it urged to contact police.
