 BY IAN CROUCH

Police have released CCTV footage as investigations continue into an armed robbery on an East Maitland service station last month.

A man armed with a rifle threatened the attendant at the Newcastle Street store at about 10.15pm on Tuesday January 4 and and stole cash and cigarettes.

The male employee wasn't injured during the incident.

The offender is described as having a solid build, about 165 centimetres tall with a dark complexion.

He was wearing dark-coloured clothing and red sneakers.

We've posted the footage on the 2NURFM Hunter News Facebook page.
