Police are investigating after The Warehouse in Henderson was held up at gunpoint early this morning.

A staff member leaving work at about 12.30am was approached by two men in the carpark.

One of the men was armed with a handgun.

The staff member was forced to take the men into the office and open the safe. They escaped with what police describe as "a quantity of cash''.

The pair then left in a silver sedan with a registration number beginning with X.

Police have released a description of one of the men: He is 165cm (5ft6in) tall, of medium to fat build, and was wearing a black hooded jumper with a red pattern on the front, a sleeveless orange vest with silver markings, black gloves and full length black pants.

The Warehouse worker was not hurt in the incident.
