"The information they provided has been found to be credible and police believe the source has further information that will identify the two persons responsible for this matter."
The robbery unfolded at the service station off the Newell Highway in Narrabri on September 26.
The two offenders were armed with a knife and stormed the business about 4.40am. They held the employee at knifepoint, and demanded money and cigarettes.
They fled the store with the goods and the staff member was not harmed.
The offenders were last seen running north through bushland towards Kelvin Vickery Avenue.
One of the men was described as being of an average build, about 185cm tall, with a tanned complexion, and late 20s to 40 years old.
The second man is described as being of a shorter and thinner build, police said.
As part of the investigation into the hold-up, detectives have interviewed various witnesses, on top of the information provided via Crime Stoppers.
"Oxley Police District is determined to reach a resolution in this matter, and remind members of the community that all information provided will be treated confidentially and persons are able to remain anonymous if they so wish," Detective Darcy said.
