Robbery at Leamington off-licence

The thief at first pretended to buy goods at Guys Cliffe Wines in the attack on Friday July 27 at around 6.45pm, but moved behind the counter as the shop assistant opened the till, pushing them aside and taking cash and cigarettes.

He made off along Rugby Road towards Leamington, and police believe he may have been seen speaking to a woman, possibly a witness, along the road.

Warwickshire Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen suspicious activity in Rugby Road.

The robber is described as white, aged in his 40s, of skinny build, 5ft 9ins tall, wearing a light-coloured open face crash helmet and brown sunglasses and a sandy coloured leather jacket.

Anyone with information should call Det Sgt Kate Winter on 415000 extension 4296 or can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
