Thief caught with pants down after robbery (9 News)

A thief has been captured on CCTV losing his pants while fleeing the scene of a violent robbery at Hilton Hotel on Monday night.

Two men entered the gaming room about 11pm, one armed with a knife, where they threatened staff before leaving with cash.

Police rushed to the South Road hotel after the alarm was raised, and the men were last seen leaving the hotel on Mallen Street.

One of the suspects tripped as they ran from the scene with CCTV capturing the moment he flashed his bottom as he fell.

The man carrying the knife is described as wearing a black-hooded jumper, beige trousers and grey shoes, with beige workmen-style gloves.

The second suspect is described as having fair-coloured hands, wearing a black-hooded jumper, a grey tracksuit bottoms and white shoes. He had a black Nike backpack.

The men have not been located. Anyone with information on the incident or the whereabouts of the suspects should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

It follows a video released last month of two men stealing a pay machine from a Windsor Gardens service station, where one man had some trouble with his pants.
