Armed Hold Up in Leichardt Pub

Armed trio hold-up Leichhardt pub

An inner-western Sydney pub has been held up by a gang of armed men in the early hours of this morning.

Three masked men, one with a firearm and one with a knife entered the hotel on Marion Street, Leichhardt at about 1.15am (AEST), ordering staff and patrons to the ground.

Police said the offenders then forced their way into the rear office, stealing the contents of two cash registers and a staff member's handbag but were unable to gain access to the safes.

The men then fled in a stolen silver-coloured Subaru WRX being driven by a fourth person.
