A cashier was threatened at knife point by two men earlier this morning.

The incident took place at 5:10am today (Friday) at the Shell Garage on the southbound carriageway of the A1(m),  just outside of Wentbridge.

The suspects entered the kiosk and threatened the cashier before helping themselves to cash, vodka and cigarettes.

Location

“We are determined to track down the offenders, a full investigation is now underway to identify those who are responsible.

“If you have any information about this incident, or you recognise the individuals pictured on the CCTV images, please let us know. We believe that they could have information to assist our investigation.”
