Police are investigating an armed hold-up at a Canning Vale bakery this morning, where the offender possibly had a gun.

About 6.40am an employee was opening the Brumby’s store at the Ranford Road Shopping Centre when a man she thinks was holding a gun walked in.

An employee said the man demanded cash from the woman, before fleeing the premises, cash in hand.

Police are conducting patrols in the area and are making further inquiries at Brumby’s.
