Posted
Two Melbourne convenience stores were held up last night.
Four men armed with knives and a pole robbed a Coolaroo milk bar about 9:00pm (AEST) on Thursday.
The attackers fled with the cash register.
Meanwhile, a man with a gun tried to rob a Blackburn convenience store just before 2:00am (AEST) today.
The store attendant hit the panic alarm, causing the bandit to flee empty handed.
