About 6.35 pm a man entered the store on Symons Street in Pearce armed with a pair of scissors. He approached the staff member behind the counter and demanded he open the cash register.

He was wearing light coloured camouflage cargo shorts, a dark Adidas hooded zip-up jacket with 3 stripes on each sleeve, a dark cap and white slip-on shoes.
