Police are searching for a man who threatened staff and robbed a pizza store at Mayfield last night.
The man entered the back door of the Domino's Pizza Store in Maitland Road just after 11 o'clock armed with an iron bar and stole a small amount of cash from the til before running off.
Senior Constable Sara Burgess says four staff were on duty - there weren't injured and have provided a good description of the offender.
"The man has been described as being of Asian or Aboriginal in appearance, about 170cm tall with a thin build and brown eyes. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a green hat with a black and white patterned bandanna or balaclava with a white hooded jumper, dark woolly gloves and dark long pants with black sneakers," she said.
Anyone with information about this incident should contact detectives as Newcastle Local Area Command, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
