ARMED robbers threatened an employee with a screwdriver at a family-run shop in Wokingham before fleeing with cash.

Between 2.10pm and 2.20pm on Monday, March 27 two males with their faces covered stormed into the shop in Barrett Crescent and demanded money.

During the 10-minute raid the horrified employee handed over money over the counter while one of the men pointed a screwdriver at her face. 

Now police have released CCTV images of two men they want to speak to in connection with the robbery.

Investigating officer, Det Con Amy Hickman-Holden from Reading Force CID, said: “This was a very frightening experience for both of the shop workers who were just going about their normal day at work.

"We are continuing our enquiries into this investigation, and we would like to speak to the man pictured as we believe he may have vital information about the incident.

"If you have any information on the offence, please call the 24-hour Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on 101.”

A spokesman for the force added that both offenders left the shop on foot in the direction of Norreys Avenue and the employees were not injured.
