Robbery at One Stop convenience store in Formby last night

Merseyside Police are appealing for information following a robbery at One Stop convenience store in Formby last night, Tuesday 28 June.

Officers were called to the One Stop Community store on Cross Green at 10.50pm following reports that two males, wearing balaclavas, had entered the store and gone behind the counter where they stole a quantity of cash.

CCTV and forensic opportunities are being explored and an investigation is ongoing.

Formby neighbourhood Inspector Jim Atherton said: "We will do everything possible to bring these offenders to justice. "I would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Cross Green and saw anyone acting suspiciously, recognises the description of the car or has any information which could help with our enquiries to get in touch."
