CCTV images have been released following an armed robbery at a shop in Wokingham last month.

Thames Valley Police today (Tuesday) released images of a man they would like to speak to in relation to the robbery which took place at a shop in Barrett Crescent on Monday, March 27.

Between 2.10pm and 2.20pm, two men entered the shop and threatened an employee with an object, believed to be a screwdriver before demanding money.

The employee handed a quantity of cash over the counter and the offender then pointed the screwdriver at a female employee before taking the cash.

Both offenders then left the shop on foot in the direction of Norreys Avenue. Thankfully, the employees were not injured during the incident.

Investigating officer, Det Con Amy Hickman-Holden from Reading Force CID, said: “This was a very frightening experience for both of the shop workers who were just going about their normal day at work.
