A masked would-be robber burst into the Top Shop mini-mart on Kitt Green Road, Kitt Green, at 8pm on March 23 and pulled out a blade.

He threatened staff, but they refused to hand anything over and eventually he ran out of the store without taking anything.

The victims were left shaken but physically unharmed.
