A bandit terrorised a shop assistant with a screwdriver at a King Kong store on Albany Highway yesterday afternoon.
Police said the man entered the Gosnells store about 5pm, browsed the isles and left before returning a few minutes later, when he produced a screwdriver from his pants and told a shop assistant to fill up a bag with money.
The shop assistant refused, and the bandit threatened him with the screwdriver before reaching across the counter and filling the bag with cash.
Witnesses say they saw the man, who is described as Aboriginal, about 180cm tall with short black hair and wearing a dark blue basketball shirt with white writing, travel down Albany Highway towards Perth.
