A police spokeswoman said about 8pm, a man entered the business on Beaudesert Nerang Road and approached the counter.

She said he then produced a large machete and demanded money and cigarettes from a 37-year-old female employee.

“The woman complied before fleeing into another room and sounding the alarm as the man put the goods into a black backpack,” she said.

“The man then smashed the glass counter with the machete before fleeing the store.

“He is described as Caucasian in appearance, around 165cm with a thin build and blue eyes. He was wearing a long sleeved dark blue jacket with a hood, long cream pants, black Nike shoes and black socks on his hands.”
