Newcastle Police are investigating an armed robbery on a Mayfield bottle shop.
Police say two men entered the Mayfield Hotel drive-through bottle shop on Maitland Road from Hanbury Street in a white Holden sedan at about 10.45pm on Monday armed with knives and threatened the 23-year-old male attendant, demanding money.
Both men returned to the car and fled with a sum of cash, cigarettes and the man's mobile phone, and were last seen heading north on Maitand Road.
The worker wasn't inured during the incident and his phone has since been recovered.
The men are described as being about 170cm to 180cm tall with a medium to solid build.
They were wearing high visability jumpers, blue coloured pants, white shoes and black gloves.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
