Police are appealing for public assistance after an armed robbery in Sydney’s inner west last night (Wednesday 10 August).

Police were called to a hotel on Unwins Bridge Road, St Peters, about 10.30pm after two men smashed their way into the premises using concrete blocks.

The men, including one armed with a firearm, threatened the manager before escaping with a sum of cash. They were last seen driving from the scene in a dark-coloured car.

No-one was injured as a result of the robbery.

Police established a crime scene at the hotel and specialist officers from the Forensic Armed Robbery Unit were in attendance.

Detectives are now appealing for anyone with information about the incident to contact them at Newtown Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
