In a separate incident around 8.35pm, a man entered the Woolworths supermarket in Calwell and approached an employee, demanding cash from the register. He was given an amount of cash and ran out of the supermarket.

The man was described as approximately 183cm (6’) tall, aged in his twenties, with a thin to medium build and was wearing a white and blue chequered hooded jumper and long pants. He was last seen running past the Calwell Tavern.
