The wanted offender is described as six-foot tall wearing a flannelette red and white jacket, with a stitched-in grey hood, and blue Adidas pants with white stripes down the side.
The footage, captured at 10.15pm, shows the man with a large kitchen or hunting knife in one hand and a white plastic bag in the other.
Sergeant Peter McGuffie said the man entered the hotel located at the corner of Greta Road and Mason Street, approached the counter and yelled out “give me all the money”.
“He has hit the knife on the counter four times and has left when he has seen there was no attendant present,” he said.
“A dark blue Holden Commodore sedan, possibly VX or VY, was seen leaving … south along Greta Road away from Wangaratta.”
Anyone with information can contact Wangaratta Police Station on (03) 5723 0888.
