Police are investigating after a convenience store was robbed by two men armed with a machete in Nerang this morning.

At around 4.30am the men entered the shop on Price Street, one of them standing at the door while the other approached a 21-year-old male store attendant, produced a machete and demanded money.

The attendant went behind the counter while the man brought a large black bag for him to put cash and cigarettes into.

The two men then fled the scene with the bag containing money and cigarettes.

The men are described as aged between 17 and 25-years-old, one of them wearing a camouflage hooded jumper, black knee-length shorts, black and white sneakers and was holding an umbrella.

The second man was wearing a light grey hooded jumper with “Everlast” written in large black letters down the right hand side, black shorts and was carrying a machete.

Anyone who may have further information is urged to contact police.
