Police are on the hunt for a man, following an alleged aggravated burglary in Wantirna, Thursday 11 April.
Investigators were informed an unknown man entered a service station on Boronia Road about 10.40pm.
The offender, wearing a mask, allegedly entered through the front door and jumped over the counter.
The store attendant was able to seek refuge in an office and was not physically injured during the incident.
The man stole a large quantity of cigarettes and cash from a till and officers have been told the man fled the service station out the front door, dropping packs of cigarettes along the way.
