NSW: Men armed with axe and stun gun rob hotel

SYDNEY, Aug 30 AAP - Masked men armed with an axe, a knife and a stun gun have robbed
a Wollongong hotel, fleeing the scene in a car with a P-plate attached.

Two men smashed their way into the hotel on the Princes Highway at Figtree about 10.50pm
(AEST) yesterday as staff were closing, police said.

They demanded money and were given cash from the office area and poker machines before
fleeing the premises and making off in a dark coloured, small car described either as
a Mitsubishi Lancer or an old model Toyota.

The car had a P-plate attached to its numberplate.

The men had their faces covered and wore gloves throughout the robbery.

No one was injured in the incident.
