Detectives from the Regional Investigations Unit are seeking information in relation to an armed robbery at the Ezy-Plus Convenience Store, South Street, Kardinya on Sunday 10th July 2011.
At about 3.55am two men entered the store, one armed with a brick and the other with a tomahawk. Upon entering the store, the first man threw the brick at the store attendant, narrowly missing his head, and causing the attendant to fall off the chair he was sitting on. The second man, armed with the tomahawk, jumped the service counter and threatened the store attendant, demanding he open the cash register. Fearing for his safety the store attendant opened the cash register, allowing the second man to reach in and grab a quantity of cash. In the meantime the first man picked up the brick he had thrown earlier and continued threatening the store attendant whilst he grabbed cigarettes from the display shelf. Both men then ran from the store.
The first man, seen carrying the brick, is described as having dark skin, approximately 19 to 25 years of age, approximately 170 cm tall, and of slim build. He was wearing a dark coloured hooded jumper, dark jeans and light coloured joggers.
The second man, who was armed with the tomahawk, is described as having dark skin, approximately 19 to 25 years of age, approximately 170 cm tall, and of slim build. He was wearing a dark hooded jumper with a white hoodie underneath, dark jeans and dark coloured shoes.
Anyone with information that may assist detectives is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
