On the 29-07-12 three masked assailants armed with machetes entered the Blackburn Safeway Supermarket terrifying staff and patrons and demanding money from the cashiers. The offenders were given cash and then fled to an awaiting motor vehicle that was driven by a female. Supermarkets in Maribyrnong, Newport, Port Melbourne and Vermont South have also been robbed in a similar fashion in the recent past.
