Three men armed with a gun and knife could be seen entering and threatening the employee of a service station at Coxs Rd around 9.30 pm. The 24-year-old employee handed the men cash and cigarettes, according to the Police.

The store owner Nick Patel told 9 News that the employee is terrified.

“First when he gave me a call he was crying and bit shaky. Now, I am not sure if he going to come back to work or not,” said Patel talking to 9 News.
The police believe this gang has struck before. Last Tuesday a service station was attacked in a similar manner in Kings Langley. On Wednesday similar robbery happened in Toongabbie by three men.

Det. Acting Supt. Gary Hutchen of Robbery and Serious Crime Squad told reporters. “They are quite violent. Their behavior is unpredictable that makes them very dangerous.”

Another Indian youth, a pizza shop worker was shot by a robber in Wentworthville on Saturday. Anand Singh is recovering at Westmead hospital.
