Police are investigating after a man stolen cash and cigarettes from a service station yesterday evening.

Just before 9pm on Friday 17 February, police were called to Martins Road at Parafield Gardens after a man entered the store armed with a knife and wearing a clown mask.  He threatened the staff member and demanded the cash til be opened.
