Locked doors have foiled a would-be armed robber at Mayfield early Thursday morning.
A man armed with a knife went to the 7-11 on Maitland Road just before 3.00am, but couldn't get inside the store because the attendant had locked the doors.
He kicked the front doors before leaving the area.
The man's described as being 180 centimetres tall with blonde hair and was wearing a black track suit.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
