Police are seeking public help following an attempted armed robbery at the Caltex Star Mart service station in Kaleen last Thursday.

The male offender ran towards the front sliding door of the service station, which was locked. The alarm sounded and he was unable to gain entry.
The male returned to a white 1993 Nissan Skyline that was parked directly outside the service station with a second male behind the wheel. Police have since identified that vehicle had been stolen and painted white. The vehicle was originally purple.
