A large masked man with an “edged weapon” has robbed a service station at Drysdale, police have alleged.
Investigators released an image of the man this week following the robbery on High St around 9.30pm Sunday.
The image, apparently from a security camera at the service station, showed a man in dark clothing and holding what appeared to be a blade with a tip curving upward.
His disguise covered most of his face except for his eyes and a narrow surrounding area.
Police appealed for public help to identify the alleged robber.
“The man threatened the attendant before stealing cash and cigarettes and running off,” police said.
“He is perceived to be Caucasian, aged in his 30s, approximately 183cm tall with a solid build.”
Police said the investigators “would like to speak to” the man in the released image, which appeared on Victoria Police’s website and social media less than 24 hours after the alleged robbery
“Anyone with information or who witnessed the event is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report to Crime Stoppers at crimestoppersvic.com.au,” police said.
