A WOULD-BE thief was chased down Thomas Street in Dandenong after an armed robbery was foiled by a patron.
About 9pm on Thursday, June 13, the man entered Sadaqat Superstore with a bottle and smashed it on the counter, threatening the attendant and demanding cash.
Another man then entered the store, causing the offender to abandon his plans and flee.
The attendant and the patron chased the man down but lost him in the midst of a scuffle. The attendant, 48, suffered minor facial injuries. He was last seen running along Thomas Street.
Sergeant Luke Kirton of the Dandenong crime investigation unit said police were appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
Information to Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.
