Armed Thieves Threaten Service Station Attendant

BY MADELAINE MCNEILL

Police are investigating after two men entered a Wyee service station and threatened the attendant with what's believed to a small handgun.

Around 7:30 Tuesday morning, the pair entered the Wyee Road business and demanded cash and cigarettes from the worker before fleeing along nearby Munmorah Street in an early 2000s model silver Toyota Avalon.

The men are described as being of Caucasian appearance, aged between 18-25 with a medium height and build.

Both were wearing dark clothing at the time.

Police want to hear from anyone who may have more information or dashcam footage from the area around the time of the incident.

They're also hoping to speak with the driver of the silver sedan.

CCTV footage of the pair fleeing the scene is available on the 2nurfm Hunter News Facebook page.
