The bandits are then seen making their way back through the tavern with a bag in hand, past the 24-year-old employee who is lying on ground, and out the front door.

The two armed thugs then fled the scene in a vehicle that was parked outside with a substantial amount of money.

Police investigating the armed robbery believe one of the masked bandits was wielding a hammer while the other was armed with a shotgun.

The two men are similarly in appearance - about 180cm tall, medium build, wearing runners, dark coloured track pants and long-sleeved hooded jumpers.

According to police, both of the men allegedly had Australian accents.

No one was physically injured as a result of the robbery.

Police are urging anyone with information or dashcam footage of the area around Teviot Road at the time of the robbery to come forward.
