Stock Destroyed and Items Stolen

The raiders, all wearing dark clothes and some sporting bubble jackets, smashed up stock before making off on foot towards Sugar Lane. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the shaken staff member faced a terrifying ordeal.

He urged anyone with information or dashcam footage from Knowsley Lane around the time of the robbery to come forward. Early CCTV and witness enquiries are underway.
