Shots Fired During Armed Hold-Up


Police say two men stormed the Wangi Wangi RSL at about 11:15 last night, armed with .22 calibre rifle and a large pole. Two shots were fired indiscriminately inside the club before the gunman went to an office section of the premises in search of cash.

Lake Macquaire Detective Senior Sergeant says two patrons and a staff member were present in the club when the robbery took place and has labelled the armed raid a concern amid a glut of armed robberies across the region.

The gunman is believed to be of a short, stocky build with his face concealed by a white t-shirt and wearing grey shorts and a dark coloured jumper.

The other man is described as being tall with a medium build and was dressed in a black jumper and black track suit pants.

Police are urging witnesses, or anyone aware of suspicious activity around the the time of the robbery, to contact Crime Stoppers on: 1800 333 000.
