Regional Investigation Unit are calling for help from the public in their investigations into two recent Armed Robberies which they believe are linked.

In the first incident a male offender approached the counter of a Huntingdale Pharmacy at 4.45pm on Sunday 22 April and threatened the female staff member with a knife whilst demanding money from the till.

He then reached over the counter and took the tray from the till and ran from the store.

 In the second incident, at 7.08pm on Monday 23 April, a male threatened staff at a Kenwick Liquor Store with a knife and demanded cash. Cash was put on the counter and he gathered it up and ran from the store to a waiting vehicle.

The offender is described as ;-

Male, fair complexion, late 30’s, 185 to 190cm, medium to solid build, Australian accent. On each occasion he tried to obscure his facial features with white adhesive tape.

The vehicle he is believed to have used is a gold coloured late model sedan. The number plate has been obscured with tape or paper.
