town .. after tying up the shop's middle-aged owners in the middle of the night.

Police say the two men broke into the Grong Grong general store and entered the bedroom
of an attached residence about 1.30am (AEDT) on Monday.

The robbers then threatened a 61-year-old man and 56-year-old woman .. restraining
the couple in the bedroom.

One of the bandits ransacked the store .. taking cash and several cartons of cigarettes
before the two men left.

A short time later .. the couple managed to free themselves and contacted police.
