Tasmania’s hospitality industry is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of armed robbers responsible for holding up in Hobart’s northern suburbs.
Earlier this month, two men used a double-barrelled shotgun to threaten staff and patrons at the Claremont Hotel.
Guns have been used in another two hotel hold-ups in the northern suburbs in May and June.
Two men have been charged with aggravated armed robbery over the incident at the York Hotel at Granton last month.
