Police were called to the scene of the aggravated robbery in Edgar St, Ainslie at 11:40pm last night after reports that two men, one armed with a firearm and another with a knife, had entered the restaurant and demanded money.
The men had entered the restaurant after it had closed for the evening via the front door and forced the five employees into the kitchen area demanding money. Two staff members managed to escape via a rear door and alerted a neighbouring business.
The offenders then fled on foot via the same door with property belonging to the employees.
One of the men is believed to be of Asian descent, around 173cm (5'8") in height with a stocky build. At the time of the robbery he was wearing baggy pants, a grey hooded top and a tan coloured bandana.
The second offender was believed to be Caucasian, around 190cm (6'3") in height, slim build wearing baggy pants, a grey hooded top and a red bandana.
Police are asking anyone who may have seen any suspicious persons around the Ainslie Shops to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers website.
