Detectives are appealing for public assistance in relation to an armed robbery, which occurred in Port Stephens last year.
Officers from Port Stephens-Hunter Police District responded to reports of a hold-up at a café on Gan Gan Road, Anna Bay, shortly after 8pm on Thursday 18 April 2024.
It’s understood two males entered the store with a machete and a shortened baseball bat.
They then proceeded to steal a quantity of cash.
The men left the location in a red two-door hatchback that was driven from the location by a third unknown person.
Soon after, Strike Force Merson was established to investigate the incident.
As inquiries continue, detectives have released CCTV footage of a couple of males who may be able to assist them.
The first man was wearing a black balaclava, black hooded jumper with the word EVERLAST written in white across the back, black gloves, blue jeans and red sneakers.
He also carried a green shopping bag.
The second male wore a grey beanie, white jumper with a fluorescent yellow hood, black gloves, white pants and white sneakers.
Anyone with information about the incident or can identify the duo in the CCTV are urged to contact Maitland Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
