Police are searching for two men over an armed robbery on a service station at Sandgate early Friday morning.
The pair entered the Metro Petroleum outlet on Maitland Road at about 1.40am and threatened the 24-year-old male attendant with a large Samurai sword and a baseball bat.
Police say one of the men then jumped the counter and removed the cash drawer and other items before the pair fled - they were last seen heading towards Mangrove Road.
It's believed they then jumped into a getaway car.
Police say the attendant was unharmed and they're appealing for any witnesses to contact Crime Stoppers.
