A SUAVE robber who wielded a gun and a knife during two hold-ups in inner Melbourne is being hunted by police.
Clad in a pin-stripe suit, the robber discussed wine varieties with a staff member at a Nicholson St bottle shop in Carlton North around 2.45pm last Monday, April 1.
But the sharply dressed robber changed his tune as he launched his heist, as he implied he was armed with a gun and threatened the attendant before stealing cash and alcohol from the store.
While the robber swiped the goods, he apologised for his actions and promised to pay the attendant back in the future.

Just 10 minutes later, the business-suit bandit struck again at a newsagency on Nicholson St, Brunswick East, just 2km from the scene of his first hold-up.
This time the robber chose a knife as his weapon of choice, which he produced as he stole cash and cigarettes.
He again apologised for his behaviour before walking away from the scene, heading north on Nicholson St.
Detectives from the Melbourne Embona Taskforce are investigating the incident and are calling on anyone with any information about the incident, or the robber’s identity, to come forward and assist them with their investigation.
The man police wish to speak to is perceived to be of Middle Eastern appearance, aged in his late 20s–early 30s and 175cm tall, with an olive complexion and a shaved head.
He was wearing dark grey suit with fine white or grey pin stripes and a black shirt, grey tie and grey skate shoes.
He had tattoos, was wearing gold rings on his fingers and carrying a black sports bag with “Nike” written in white.
Police have released stills from the CCTV footage of the incident in the hope that someone may be able to shed light on the man’s identity.
Anyone with any information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au
