Last updated 2nd Aug 2021
Police are appealing for help identifying two men to help with their enquiries after a shop in Preston was robbed.
It happened at around 6.15am on Friday (July 30th) at the One Stop Store on Ribbleton Lane.
Two men entered the shop wearing face-coverings, with one wielding a meat cleaver and the other a knife. They made threats towards staff before making off with almost £1,000 worth of items.
Both men were described as having local accents and aged in their mid-20s or 30s.
One of the men is further described as wearing a black Adidas tracksuit and black trainers. He was wearing a black face covering and gloves.
The second man was wearing a red Converse hooded jacket with white draw cords, white and blue camo combat pants, a black face covering and blue surgical gloves.
DC Stephen Rotherham, of Preston Police, said: “This was a nasty incident which left staff members at the shop extremely shaken. Nobody should be put through an ordeal like this while simply going about their work.
“Our enquiries are very much ongoing and we now believe the men in the image may be able to help with our investigation. If you think you might know who they are, please get in touch with us straight away.
“Alternatively if you have any other information that could help with our investigation, or think you know who is responsible, please tell us.”
Anybody with information should contact us on 101, quoting log 231 of July 30th.
