Detectives from the Regional Investigations Unit are seeking information in relation to an aggravated armed robbery at Simons Lunch Bar, located on Leach Highway, Willagee  yesterday morning (1 August 2011). At around 1:00am, a man wearing a black balaclava entered the store armed with a knife.

The man jumped onto the counter and struck the 68 year old male staff member with the butt of the knife, striking him in the eye. The blow knocked the staff member unconscious and he fell to the ground, breaking his wrist.

 The offender grabbed the cash register and fled the store. The till contained a small amount of cash.

 It is believed the offender may have left in a white Holden Commodore sedan, similar to the one shown.

 The only description of the offender is a man wearing a black balaclava and dark clothing.
