POLICe hope these images can help track down a trio of thieves who detained two club staff at Tuncurry during a Sunday night robbery.
Manning-Great Lakes police were told three men forced their way into the Beach Street premises just after 9pm. The thieves were allegedly wielding a screwdriver and a crow bar between them.
They confronted two of the venue’s employees, threatening the pair before detaining them in a separate room.
Police said the pair of employees, aged 57 and 63, were not physically hurt.
Investigators established a crime scene and have released CCTV images of a trio they believe can assist with their inquiries.
The images show three men in various parts of the club, including running across the greens.
In one frame they can be seen carrying a large duffel bag. They have been described as wearing long-sleeved black and blue jumpers, track suit pants and running shoes. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
