Police are investigating the armed robbery of a newsagency at Wacol in the early hours of this morning.
Around 5.35am two men entered the Akenside Street business and approached the counter.
One of the men, who was armed with a knife, forced his way behind the counter and threatened the 59-year-old male store employee.
Demands were made for money and cigarettes by the offenders at which time the employee backed away to the rear of the premises.
The men then forced entry to a cigarette case stealing cigarettes and forcibly removed the till before they fled the scene in a blue sedan.
Both offenders were dressed in black with balaclavas.
Police investigations are continuing.
