Armed robbery at store
Police officers after the armed robbery at the Spar on Coventry Road in Market Harborough during sunday at 4.30pm.
ARMED robbers threatened staff at a Harborough shop with a knife before making off with cash.
The raid happened at the Spar shop in Coventry Road at about 4.30pm yesterday (Sunday).
Police said two men threatened employees with a knife before stealing cash and alcohol and running from the scene.
The men, described as being in their mid to late 20s, about 6ft tall and of medium build, escaped across Coventry Road towards Warntaby Street.
No one was hurt during the incident.
Detective Constable Henry Henderson is investigating the incident.
He said: “This was quite rightly a very distressing incident for both the staff and the customers who were in the shop at the time.
“We have taken statements from people who were in the shop and around the area at the time but we believe there were some customers in the shop at the time who have not yet spoken to the police, we would urge these people to come forward as they may be able to provide vital information.
“We would also ask anyone who saw the suspects acting suspiciously around the area before the incident or saw them running away from the scene after the incident to contact us.
“It is vitally important that we speak to as many people as possible so we can identify and locate the people responsible. Any calls received will be treated in confidence.”
Anyone with any information is asked to contact DC 2199 Henry Henderson by dialing 101.
