It’s alleged on Friday about 11:45pm the pair, armed with an axe and knives, stole money and cigarettes from a service station in Moorebank and fled the scene in a Mitsubishi Lancer.

Police said two women then threatened an employee at a separate Moorebank service station with knives and an axe before fleeing about half an hour later.

It’s further alleged at 1:15am on Saturday, the pair threatened an employee at an Edmondson Park service station before fleeing with cash.
