Knife-wielding robbers raid store
Three masked men threatened staff with a knife during a robbery at a supermarket in Milton Keynes.

Police are appealing for witnesses to a robbery at the Co-op in Neath Hill at about 0430 GMT on Friday.

The men overpowered a member of staff at the back door of the shop which opens onto the Pennylands estate.

The men threatened the worker with a knife and forced him into an office where he was tied up. An undisclosed sum of money was taken from the safe.

The victim, a local man in his 50s, was unharmed in the incident but was left extremely shaken.

The three men were all white and were wearing balaclavas and gloves.

Anyone with information should contact Thames Valley Police.
