Police are looking for two offenders who attempted to hold up a convenience store at Jesmond on Thursday night.
Police say two men wearing dark clothing and masks entered the store on Blue Gum Road just after 8.30pm armed with a firearm and a sharp object.
They threatened the male attendant and demanded cash, but the worker refused to comply and the pair fled empty-handed.
Anyone who noticed the pair acting suspiciously in the area at the time is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
