Qld shopkeeper held up with hockey stick

Two boys have run off empty handed after trying to rob a Queensland convenience store armed with nothing but a hockey stick.

Police say the Toowoomba shopkeeper grabbed the hockey stick from a boy, aged about 12, who entered the shop demanding money on Sunday night.

After being disarmed the boy fled with his young accomplice who was waiting outside.

Nothing was reported stolen and no one suffered any injuries.
