Police are searching for a man following an armed robbery on Marine Parade at Labrador last night.
About 1am the man walked into a business to buy cigarettes and was refused because he did not provide age identification.
The man then produced a knife and demanded cigarettes before climbing over the counter and stealing a number of packets.
He is described as of Pacific Islander appearance, about 185cm tall with a solid build.
He was wearing a black hooded jumper, black shorts and black runners gloves and chequered shorts, with his face covered by what appeared to be a black shirt.
There were no injuries.
