Station armed robbery probed

By BRIDGET SCOTT

POLICE have released an image of a man they wish to speak to in relation to an armed robbery in Hampton Park earlier this month.
On Sunday 8 March around 6.12am, a man of Islander appearance walked into the United Service station, Hallam Road, Hampton Park, and approached the slushies machine.
The man pushed it over before he jumped the counter and produced two hand knives and made demands for cash. The attendant handed over the cash before the man fled on foot.
Police wish to speak with the male pictured and are appealing for anyone who may be able to identify this male or have any information about the armed robbery to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or contact Senior Constable Sheree Osborne at Dandenong Embona Taskforce 9767 7666.
