Armed robbery at station

21/05/2015

A HAMPTON Park petrol station attendant was left shaken and petrified after two people armed with weapons forced him to hand over money from the till.
The employee was behind the counter when the offenders stormed into the United petrol station on Hallam Road, just after 3am on Monday 18 May.
The offenders demanded the attendant open up the till and soon fled the store with stolen property.
The Embona Taskforce is investigating the incident.
