Three men caused damage and stole money from the till of a convenience shop just after 4pm on Thursday afternoon, 11 April.

Three men went into the shop at about 4.20pm and threatened a shop worker with an axe before causing damage and stealing cash from the till.

The suspects made off in a car and details were passed to patrolling units. Officers spotted a similar vehicle which was later found crashed in King Georges Road. The occupants ran off but a man was detained in nearby Anton Bantock Way soon afterwards.

A man in his twenties was arrested on suspicion of affray and robbery and remains in police custody.
