Search on for armed robbers who held up Nedlands hotel

Police are investigating after a Nedlands hotel was held up in an armed robbery on Friday night.

Two men with their faces covered and brandishing a firearm approached staff waiting outside the Stirling Highway hotel just after midnight.

The staff members were threatened and ordered back inside the closed hotel, before the robbers fled with cash from the safe.

Regional Investigation Unit officers say the thieves took off in a light-coloured vehicle and are appealing for anyone with information on the incident to come forward.

Anyone who can help police with their investigation is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online.
