THIEVES allegedly armed with a meat cleaver hurled a rock through a glass service station door in Lynbrook, before stealing cigarettes.
Two men attended the Dandenong-Hastings Road business just after 2am on Monday 2 May and threw a large rock through the glass front door.
The pair then entered the service station, one of them armed with what appeared to be a meat cleaver and demanded the attendant open the till.
They took a sum of money before locating a second till and taking cash from that as well. The pair then grabbed cigarettes before leaving the store.
The attendant was not injured physically during the incident.
Police from the Southern Metro Region Crime Response Team are investigating the armed robbery and have released CCTV in an effort to identify the men.
Both men had their faces covered at the time of the incident.
Anyone with information about the armed robbery is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
