Police are investigating an armed robbery on a fast food store at Wallsend overnight.
Police say a man armed with a gun entered the Henny Penny outlet on Cowper Street just before 8.30pm on Wednesday and threatened two female staff as they were preparing to close up for the night.
He fled the store with an amount of cash along with a handbag belonging to one of the workers- it’s not clear at this stage if there was an accomplice waiting in a getaway car.
The two workers were the only people in the store at the time and weren’t injured.
The man’s described as being about 25 to 30 years old, 183cm tall with a medium build.
He was wearing a grey hoodie, face covering and long black pants.
Anyone who saw the man running from the store is urged to call Crime Stoppers.
