Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at a tavern in Cleveland last night (January 8).
At about 10.15pm a man has entered the gaming area of a Shore Street tavern and approached the bar.
The man has then threatened a 46-year-old female staff with a rifle demanding money from the cash register.
The staff member complied, and a sum of cash was put into a bag.
The man has then left the tavern in a white car which was parked in the tavern’s carpark.
The man is described as wearing a full body dark coloured zoot suit, black gloves, white sneakers and a white face mask. He was approximately 175cm tall with a medium build.
At the time there were about five people on the premises.
No one was physically injured.
