Investigators have been told the bandit took several Armani branded watches before fleeing the scene on a bike towards Stronach Avenue.

Police said on Monday they were looking for a person seen in the area at the time wearing yellow/green gloves, dark clothing and a face covering and who was riding a BMX bike.

Information can be given to police anonymously through the Crime Stoppers online reporting portal or by calling 1800 333 000.
