Police are searching for two men following an armed robbery at a Chinese restaurant in the Wantirna mall last night.
Investigators have been told that two men, armed with firearms, entered the restaurant around 9pm and held up staff and patrons.
One man approached a female staff member standing at the register and demanded money.
The woman handed the man an amount of money from the till.
The second man approached a group of patrons, banged the firearm on the table, and also demanded money.
The patrons emptied their wallets and purses onto the table and then handed the cash to the offender.
Both men, who were wearing white hoodies and sunglasses then fled from the store heading east on Thaxted Parade.
No one was injured in the incident.
