Armed Robbery, Coral Bookmakers, Cargo Fleet Lane, Middlesbrough.
By Cleveland Police published 17 August, 2012 No CommentsPolice release CCTV images of man believed to be responsible for Armed Robbery.
About 9.25pm on Wednesday 15th August a man entered Coral Bookmakers as it was about to close. He ran towards the counter and threatened staff with what appeared to be a handgun, forcing staff to place the contents of the safe into a bag before running out of the shop. It is unknown if he ran across Cargo Fleet Lane or left towards Homerton Road.
The male is described as white, 5’8” tall, stocky build, aged 25-35, wearing a light grey balaclava, a grey padded jacket, black gloves, black training shoes and black track-suit bottoms with a white stripe down the leg, he made off with £271.
Detective Inspector James Devine stated two members of staff who were working at the time have suffered a terrifying ordeal. They were faced with a man threatening them with what appeared to be a handgun, demanding money. However I would like to reassure the public that incidents of this nature are rare.
Could anyone with any information please contact DI James Devine on the non emergency number 101 or crime-stoppers on 0800 555 111.
