Berwick milkbar burgled, marks second incident of the year

Police are investigating an armed robbery in Berwick that occurred on Saturday, 9 March, where it is believed three unknown offenders entered a store on Bemersyde Drive around 4:45pm.

Officers believe that the trio arrived in a stolen sedan.

Armed with a large knife and a tire iron, the offenders made demands for money and cigarettes before fleeing the scene in the stolen vehicle.

The store attendant was not physically injured.

Investigators believe that the sedan was stolen from a Dandenong address last week.

At this stage, the investigation remains ongoing.

Security camera vision was posted on the Facebook page, Berwick Community Noticeboard, on the same day, 9 March.

A minute-long video showed one offender rummaging through the rear of the shop while the other two transported contents in a box to the boot of the stolen sedan.

The same user also posted on 15 January, depicting another incident where two offenders similarly burgled the store before fleeing in a red sedan.

In both incidents, the offenders were masked and dressed in black.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
