Police investigating a robbery in Andover are appealing for witnesses.

The incident happened at the Curry’s store in the Churchill Retail Park at around 5.30pm yesterday (6 May).

Two men entered the store and made threats to staff before stealing items including an iPhone and an iPad.

They escaped on foot toward Quickfit, before running on Shepherd’s Spring Lane toward the Sainsbury’s store.

The two suspects are described as:

• A mixed race man in his late twenties, around 5ft 11ins tall with a large build, and described as having spots on his cheeks and jawbone. He was wearing a blue surgical facemask, a grey tracksuit with a large pocket on his trousers, and a grey baseball cap.

• A black man in his mid twenties, roughly 6ft tall with a slim build. He was wearing a black matching Nike tracksuit, with a black or dark blue Nike baseball cap.

Police say they are particularly keen to hear from anyone who recognises these descriptions and might know who they are.
