POLICE have charged two people following the attempted robbery of a service station during which an employee was allegedly threatened by a man wielding a crowbar and a knife.

At 1.22am on Thursday a man wearing a hoodie and a beanie to cover his face approached a 7-Eleven service station on Ashmore Road in Molendinar.

After entering he covered his face before pulling out a crowbar and a large knife.

The worker at the service station requested the man to remove his beanie before unlocking the doors and allowing him to enter.
