Durrington shop staff forced to lay on floor by hoodie-wearing robbers

The men, who were all wearing grey hoodies, struck as staff, two women and a man, were closing up the store in Manor Parade, Salvington Road, at around 10.10pm last night (Thursday, November 19).

They were forced back into the store and through to offices at the rear of the building where the supervisor was made to open the safe.

Having put the money into a dark grey box file picked up in the office, the men left through the rear of the store, taking two of the staff's mobile phones, a handbag and a wallet. They headed off on foot in the direction of the Lamb public house.

Police have issued descriptions of two of the men.

The first is white, about 6ft 3ins, with blue eyes and wearing black leather gloves, black balaclava and a grey hoodie.

The second is also white, of fat build and wearing a grey hoodie covering his face.

It is believed that the men may have been hanging around in the area before making their move.

Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen them before, during or after the robbery or who has any information about them, to contact 0845 60 70 999 quoting serial 1915 of 19/11.
