Masked Knives Threaten Staff in Bold Hucknall Road Robbery
Two Armed Thieves Strike Just Before 6pm
On Tuesday 20 December, just before 6pm, havoc hit a Hucknall Road premise near Gala Way. Two masked men burst inside, one brandishing a knife, while a third waited outside. Their target? Two members of staff.

Alongside the expensive timepieces, the thieves also stole a space grey iPhone 13 Max and a white iPhone 10 before fleeing.
