The appeal for information comes as police seek help in identifying a man they say can help their investigation into an armed robbery at Deer Park on Boxing Day.

They said a man armed with a knife attended a service station on Ballarat Rd about 2am, where he pulled out a concealed knife from his jumper after engaging the shop attendant in conversation.
