Images show men Police say they'd like to speak to
Police are releasing CCTV images of two men officers would like to speak to in connection with a robbery that occurred in Lambourn.
At around 10.15am on Thursday 3 December 2020, a 26 year-old woman working at Ladbrokes in Lambourn was approached and threatened by two offenders.
They demanded she hand over money from the store’s tills and the safe. One of them was carrying a suspected firearm.
The two men then took an unspecified amount of money from the till and continued to threaten the victim not to press the store’s panic button.
In spite of the threats from the offenders, the victim pressed the panic button which caused them to flee the store. They cycled away on mountain bikes.
