Telford shop targeted in armed robbery
A masked man believed to be armed with a hammer stole cash from a Shropshire convenience store.
West Mercia Police today appealed for witnesses to the armed robbery at the One Stop on Telford's Trench Road.
A man is reported to have entered the shop at about 9.40pm on Saturday.
He pointed a weapon, believed to be a hammer, at a staff member before demanding money from the till.
An unknown amount of money was taken and the man left the store in the direction of Stanmore Drive.
Police today asked anyone in that area on Saturday night to contact detectives.
The robber is described as in his 20s, about 5ft 6ins tall and of very slim build.
Officers say he used black ski goggles in an effort to disguise his identity.
He also wore a black hoodie, blue jeans, black shoes and white gloves.
Detectives are particularly keen to speak to a passer-by who is understood to have seen someone getting into a vehicle near the building.
Anyone with information should call police on 101 with the incident number 720S of November 24.
