Police investigating the armed robbery of a service station at Sunnybank on August 5 have identified a man who was the subject of an appeal for information into the matter.

Just before 11pm, a man walked into the Mains Road business armed with a knife and demanded money. He then left the premises on foot with a sum of cash and crossed Mains Road towards Mulgowie Street.

The offender is described as Caucasian, approximately 180cm tall with a slim build.

Investigations into the incident are continuing.

Police released a CCTV image of a man who may have witnessed the incident and may hold information important to investigators.

The man depicted in the image has since made contact with police and media outlets are requested to discontinue using this image in connection with this incident.
