Detectives have released images of a man who may be able to assist police with an historical armed robbery that occurred on the Northern Beaches.
Shortly before 8am on Friday 22 April 2011, officers from Northern Beaches Police Area Command responded to reports of an armed robbery at a service station on Pittwater Road, Narrabeen.
Officers were informed that a man entered the store threatening a 20-year-old male staff member with a sawn-off rifle.
The man left the store with an amount of cash and was last seen running west along Robertson Street.
There were no reports of any person being injured.
He was described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 25-years of age, 170cm tall, medium build, short spikey dark coloured hair and a tattoo of barbed wire on his right upper arm.
At the time he was wearing white cap, a brown coloured jumper with red patterns on the sleeves, light blue track pants, black/blue coloured gloves and dark coloured shoes.
Some of these clothing items were later located on The Esplanade.
Despite extensive inquiries at the time the man was unable to be identified.
Following a review of the case police have received fresh information.
Northern Beaches Police Area Command, Crime Manager, Inspector Mick Boutouridis, said investigators were seeking public assistance about the case.
“Today marks the 14th anniversary of when the hold-up occurred and we are asking for help from the public,” said Inspector Boutouridis.
“Despite the passage of time we never give up on trying to solve serious offences especially when a firearm is produced.”
“As part of our investigation into this incident we have released images of a man who may be able to assist with our inquiries.”
“Someone must know something about this case, and we are calling on anyone who knows anything to call Manly Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
