Armed bandits rob Blue Mountains club TWO bandits armed with a tomahawk and a gun have detained several people at a Blue Mountains sports club during a robbery ordeal which lasted more than four hours. Police said the two balaclava-clad men entered the sports club at Hazelbrook about 7am on Saturday (AEST) armed with the weapons. On arrival, the thieves threatened a 63-year-old male employee of the club and demanded that he open a safe. He was unable to open the safe so the thieves waited until a female staff member arrived at about 10am, and then forced her to open it. The robbers then fled the premises with cash from the safe and money from other parts of the club. They took off in the 63-year-old's car about 11.30am. Five other patrons who arrived the club during the robbery were also detained by the men, police said. No one was injured during the incident. Police said the bandits were described as being of Caucasian appearance and were aged about 30 to 40. They were last seen driving a white 2004 Toyota Prado with NSW registration LB 005.
