Police have now released photos of the offender who robbed the Traffers Bar in Gore at around 8.45pm on Sunday 30 June.

The offender was wearing a:
· black long-sleeved hoodie
· black baseball-style cap
· black knee-length ‘Puma’ brand shorts
· red bandana with white spots
· purple socks with black spots
He was also carrying a black 'Countdown' brand material shopping bag.
