Two male offenders entered the Ferrars Street premises around 2.45am, one armed with a knife, the other believed to be wielding a tomahawk.

The attendant denied the man access behind the counter and as he and the other male fled the store, he stole a number of packets of Tim Tams from the shelf.
The men, who also wore stockings over their heads, were last seen on foot heading east on Bridport Street and are yet to be located.
