Police are appealing for witnesses after an armed robbery at the Tesco Express store in Beaulieu Road, Dibden Purlieu.
A masked man brandishing a silver handgun entered the store with a pillow case or something similar at around 10.15 pm on Thursday, June 14. He demanded money and cigarettes.
A member of staff handed over a small amount of cash and a quantity of cigarettes which were placed into a carrier bag from the store. He then left the store and made off along Beaulieu Road in the direction of the Hythe By-Pass roundabout.
He is described as:
- White
- Aged 17-24 years old
- 6ft tall
- He had what appeared to be a small tattoo on his left hand between the thumb and index finger
- He was wearing a beige or grey coloured top and blue trousers. His face was covered with a white mask or bandana with eye holes.
The robber is believed to be in possession of a large quantity of silver Lambert & Butler and Benson & Hedges cigarrettes in both 10 and 20 quantity packets which he may be trying to sell on.
If anyone saw this man in the area around the time of the robbery or can provide police with information, they should contact Hythe CID on 0845 045 45 45. |
