Gunman holds up fast food outlet

Police are hunting a masked gunman who threatened a member of staff during a robbery at a fast food outlet.

The employee at Subway in Poole Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, handed over a small amount of money on Sunday night.

Police are trying to trace two men in dark clothing who were seen in the area shortly before the robbery.

It is thought one of these men - who was wearing a hood and a dark-coloured scarf over his face - committed the robbery.

Det Sgt Garry Knight of Dorset Police said: "This is an unusual offence and I'm committed to finding the man responsible.

"I'd also like to hear from anyone else who has any information about the offence or about the identity of either men."

No-one was injured in the incident.
