Three armed raids may be linked

Masked men with handguns have held up a William Hill bookmakers in Cambridgeshire in a robbery being linked by police to two other raids.

In the attack in Paston, Peterborough, late on Thursday evening, staff were threatened and handed over cash.

Detectives said there were possible links to armed raids at McDonalds, in Eye, and Betfred bookmakers, at Bretton, on Tuesday.

Police are looking for two teenagers - one is white the other is mixed race.

Both were about 5ft 8ins tall, 17 to 18 years old, slim to medium build and had their faces covered.

Det Insp Mike Branston said: "There are obvious similarities between all three of these robberies but we are keeping an open mind and cannot confirm they are linked.

"I would appeal for anyone who was in the Paston area last night to consider whether they saw anything suspicious, a vehicle travelling at speed or anyone running from the Chadburn area."
