olice are seeking information from the public after a brazen daylight armed robbery at Stockland Green Hills last week. At around 2pm on Tuesday, August 5, a cash-in-transit officer was making a cash delivery to the Commonwealth Bank at the East Maitland shopping centre when the robbery occurred. “Whilst he was parking the vehicle in the carpark he was approached by a male person,” Central Hunter police duty officer Chief Inspector Greg Lindsell told media last week. “That male person produced what has been described as a pistol and forced entry into the vehicle. He then asked the driver to take him to a location nearby.” The vehicle was stopped at the other end of the carpark where the robber stole a strongbox containing an undisclosed amount of cash and placed it in a trolley before making his escape. He was last seen on Stronach Avenue. Police established a search radius and brought in a dog but were unable to locate the man. Police have also reviewed CCTV footage from the centre. No shots were fired and the cash-in-transit officer was unharmed. Police are seeking a man who may be able to assist with their enquiries, who has been described as having tan skin and was wearing a plain black hooded jumper, with the hood raised, and big black glasses. Police are also urging anyone with information about the man or incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
