West Footscray: Police probe supermarket robbery

Police are appealing for witnesses after armed bandits dressed in Halloween-style masks held up staff at a West Footscray supermarket on June 29.

Altona North detectives said two men entered the liquor section of the supermarket on Barkly Street just after 8.30pm.

The men, wearing a pink mask and a green skeleton mask, approached the service counter and threatened staff with a firearm and crowbar before demanding cash.

One of the bandits stole more cash from a storage room and told a staff member to lie on the ground before both men fled.

An image has been released of the incident which shows one of the men wearing a black puffy jacket with diamond stitching.

Information to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
