CCTV: brick-wielding thieves rob Preston petrol station

Police hope someone may recognise the masked pair who attacked the Bell Street BP service station about 3.30am on Sunday 23 July.

One of the men, holding the brick, climbed over the counter and assaulted the 23-year-old male attendant while the second man  pointed a handgun at the worker.

The first man quickly emptied the cash register and filled a white plastic bin with cigarette packets from a cabinet. 

The attack at a BP petrol station on Bell Street took place last  Sunday at 3:30am.

The man with the brick was wearing a black hooded top, black track pants with white detail down the side, and a black mask.

The other man was wearing a white jumper, blue pants, black shoes, and had a black cloth covering his face.

Police confirmed the petrol station attendant escaped without injury. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
