Stun gun used in cigarette hold-up

POLICE are investigating an armed hold-up on a Bankstown general store in Sydney's west by a man armed with an electric stun gun who stole at least 30 packets of cigarettes.

Police say a middle aged man walked into the general store at the corner of Picnic Point Rd and Doris St, Picnic Point, about 4pm yesterday afternoon.

He asked for three packets of cigarettes.

As the female owner of the business was about to hand over the cigarettes the man grabbed the packets and demanded she hand over all her cash.

The owner has told detectives the man produced an electric stun device and activated it before walking over to the cigarette cabinet and taking at least 30 packets of assorted cigarettes with a total value of up to $600.

He ran out of the shop and into a waiting car described as an old model square shaped burgundy/red coloured four door vehicle with yellow number plates. It was being driven by a second man.
No one was injured in the hold up.

The armed man is described as Caucasian appearance, middle aged, pale skin, fat build, about 170cm tall, blue eyes, short shaved blonde hair. He was wearing a baggy cream coloured t-shirt and cream coloured long pants.
