Two men have been arrested for robbery after targeting an off-licence in Hucknall.

The incident happened just after 6pm on Saturday 7 January, at a business in Watnall Road.

A man entered the store and approached the till with his hand in his pocket claiming that he had a knife. He then pushed the shopkeeper and took cash from the till.

A second suspect remained nearby the shop while the robbery took place.

After reviewing CCTV footage, officers arrested two men aged 55 and 30, at an address.

On attendance of that address, a third man was also arrested for drug offences after officers found him in possession of cannabis and a quantity of cash.

Detective Sergeant Andrea Brown said: "This was a nasty and distressing incident. A man has entered the store and has used force to get behind the counter and steal cash from the till.

"We have acted fast to locate the offenders and made two arrests. No one should have to go into work and experience this type of incident."
