At around 5.10am on Saturday 25 May 2013, two men entered the York Hotel on Main Road Granton, armed with a firearm.

The men demanded the location of a safe within the hotel, from the two occupants present at the time.  They then attempted to remove the safe from the Hotel; this was later recovered by police.

The offenders are believed to have left the scene in a red Rover sedan.

Police are asking for members of the public who may have knowledge of those involved in the crime, or who may have seen the vehicle, either in the Hobart CBD or the Granton area during the early hours of the morning.

Information can be passed to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or directly to Glenorchy CIB.
