According to officers from the Manning-Great Lakes Police District a 25-year-old woman was working behind the till when she was approached by a man wearing a bike helmet and armed with a knife at approximately 6.40pm.
The man told the woman to fill a bag with cash and cigarettes before leaving the scene on a motorcycle.
Police were called and established a crime scene, with a description of the motorcycle and rider broadcast.
About two hours later, a motorcycle matching that description was seen being ridden along Cabarita Avenue but when police attempted to stop the rider, the bike was dropped and the rider fled on foot.
Checks have now revealed the motorbike was stolen from Newcastle West on Thursday, March 7.
Investigators are now appealing for anyone with information about the incident to contact Forster police on 6555 1299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
