Witness appeal after robbery in Ashford

We are appealing for witnesses after a Londis store in Ashford was robbed at knife-point on Saturday, 13 August.

The incident took place at around 12.10pm when a man entered the shop on Glenfield Road, approached the counter and said ‘Give me the money’ lifting his t-shirt to reveal a brown coloured handle sticking out of his pocket. He then took out a ‘Next’ carrier bag and made the shop worker put the money in it, a total of around £240. 

The suspect has been described as a White man, in his mid to late 20’s, with a dark coloured beard and short scruffy dark brown hair. He was wearing a dark coloured t-shirt, with dark coloured shorts and dark trainers.

We would like to speak to the man in the CCTV image who we believe may be able to help us in our investigation.
