A worker at a supermarket was threatened with a knife by a robber who then stole money and escaped.
Authorities are reaching out to the public in hopes of catching a dangerous criminal who recently committed an armed robbery at a Melbourne supermarket. The terrifying incident took place at around 8:15pm on Saturday, October 5th, at a store in Diggers Rest, located in the city's north-west area. The perpetrator, who remains unidentified, approached a store employee who was outside at the time, brandishing a knife and holding it to the worker's neck.

The robber then forced the worker into the store on Glitters Road and demanded money while still wielding the weapon. Thankfully, no physical harm was inflicted on the victim. However, the offender managed to escape with a sum of cash and was last seen fleeing down Welcome Road. In a stroke of luck, he tripped and fell while making his getaway.

According to reports, the suspect is described as a Caucasian male with a height of approximately 175cm and a slim build. At the time of the crime, he was wearing a pair of grey pants, a black windbreaker featuring a Nike logo, and black work boots. Investigators have released a photo and CCTV footage of an individual they believe may be able to assist in their inquiries.

In light of this disturbing event, the public is being asked to come forward with any information that could potentially lead to the capture of the armed robber. Witnesses or anyone with relevant details are urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online. The authorities are counting on the community's cooperation to help bring this dangerous individual to justice. Let's work together to make our streets safer.
