At 8.10pm, two men entered the Nisa Local store on Lowedges Road. One is said to have been armed with an axe and another with a crow bar.

After threatening the three terrified staff members and forcing them in to the back room of the store, the pair made off with cigarettes, tobacco, and cash.

Early enquiries suggest that the two involved are in their late teens, white and around 5ft 9in tall.

Police launched a witness appeal this morning and wish to speak to the men they believe are involved.
