Mr Ahmad and his family moved to Tasmania from Pakistan three years ago, eventually settling on St Leonards as the ideal place to start a small business and raise their two children.

The second armed robbery in two years has left the family in a state of shock.

"We moved to Australia for our kids, to give them a better future. We came to Australia for safety but this kind of thing has now happened to us twice," Mr Ahmad said.

The offenders left in a stolen white Ford Courier ute with black roof racks and a canopy.

Police are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who saw the vehicle in the area around the time of the incident.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident or may have any information is urged to contact the Launceston Criminal Investigation Branch on 6777 3911 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
