A Caltex servo worker has been threatened with a knife during a terrifying armed robbery in Kew.
Eastern divisional crime team detectives have released CCTV footage of a man they want to speak to about the March 25 holdup.
Police spokeswoman Nikki Ladgrove said a man entered the Willsmere Rd service station about 10.15pm and confronted a staff member with a knife, demanding cash.
“The victim complied and the man took a quantity of cash before fleeing on foot,” Ms Ladgrove said.
She said the man is described as in his 20s, with a medium build and facial hair.
He was wearing a blue Super Dry zip-up jacket, grey Bonds tracksuit pants and blue runners.
The same service station was also targeted in January when a man allegedly armed with a hammer, attempted to rob the store.
The would-be thief fled empty-handed and no-one was injured.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
