One is a face-fit of the woman responsible for a callous attack and robbery of an 87-year-old woman at her Turner home.

The elderly woman was attacked while hanging out her washing.

Police said her attacker tied her up before ransacking her home, stealing her car and items from her handbag.

The victim suffered minor injuries in the attack.

The white Mitsubishi Magna was found abandoned on Watson Street, Turner, yesterday afternoon.

The robber is described as being aged in her 30s, about 157cm tall, with a solid build, fair complexion and blonde hair that was either tied up or cut short.

She was wearing a fawn-coloured jacket and dark full-length trousers.

Police also issued security camera footage of a man wanted over the armed robbery of a Braddon service station last week.

The footage shows the attacker wielding a large knife and jumping the counter.

Police said he stole cigarettes and cash before running in the direction of Haig Park.

The armed robber is believed to be in his 20s, about 178cm tall, with a medium build and grey hair. He was wearing a black beanie, black bandanna, a black T-shirt with white writing on the back, knee-length grey shorts and white joggers.

Anyone with information about either crime should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
