Attempted armed robbery, Rochedale South
Police are investigating the attempted armed robbery of a service station at Rochedale South early this morning. Around 4.30am, two males approached the Rochedale Road store on foot and shouted for the door to be opened.

He was wearing a black hooded jumper with white lettering on the sleeves and a black cloth covering his face. He was also wearing black gloves, red shorts, white socks and sneakers.
