ACT Policing is investigating an aggravated robbery which occurred in Melba in the early hours of this morning (Saturday, September 14).
About 1.30am, a white Hyundai Excel approached the front of the 7/11 store and a man exited the vehicle. He then kicked and forced his way into the store.
Upon seeing this, a staff member sought refuge in a staff room at the back of the store before the offender attempted to unsuccessfully force his way into the room.
The offender then climbed the counter and took a small sum of cash. A second offender then entered the store to assist the man before they both fled.
The first offender was wearing a grey hooded jumper, black tracksuit pants, and a black bandana to cover his face.
The second male was wearing a white hooded jumper, dark Adidas tracksuit pants and concealed his face.
Anyone who was in the vicinity of Melba 7/11 at the time of the incident and may be able to assist police is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.
