NSW: Police seek help to find revolver-wielding robbers

SYDNEY, Dec 30 AAP - Police have appealed for help to hunt down three balaclava-clad
men armed with a pistol who robbed a western Sydney workshop early today.

At around 1.30am (AEDT) the men entered the workshop at Brabham Drive, Eastern Creek,
held up the three workers they found there and unsuccessfully attempted to force open
a safe.

After about an hour the robbers stole money from a vending machine, the personal belongings
and car keys of two of the victims, then used one victim's car to flee the scene.

The vehicle was found later in a nearby street, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Blacktown detectives on 9671 9199 or CrimeStoppers
on 1800 333000.
