Police are appealing for public assistance following an armed robbery at a hotel in Eastwood.

About 1pm (Sunday 1 December 2013), a 21-year-old woman was working at a hotel on West Parade, when she was approached by a man with a knife. The man threatened her with the weapon, before fleeing the location with cash. He was last seen running north along West Parade. No one was injured during the incident.

Officers attached to Eastwood Local Area Command were alerted and attended the location a short time later. A crime scene was also established and examined by specialist forensic officers and detectives. Inquiries into the matter are continuing and police would now like to speak to a man who they believe may be able to assist in the investigation.
