Police hunt two men after terrifying daylight robbery in Adelaide's south
South Australia Police are searching for two men after they robbed a hotel in Adelaide’s south in broad daylight.
Police said the two men in their 20s stormed the Avoca Hotel about 8am on Sunday just moments after two female workers had opened the gaming room.
The offenders made threats and hit a male patron with a weapon before they fled with cash.
The pair was last seen running out of the car park down Albert Street.
One resident believes the men planned the robbery.
“They probably cased the joint and probably know there’s not a lot of big guys here just a couple of girls,” she said.
Paramedics treated the male victim for a minor injury at the hotel.
The two female staffers were shaken but not hurt.
