We’re appealing for witnesses, dashcam and doorbell footage after a robbery at “Bilton’s Local” shop on King Edwards Drive, Harrogate.
It was reported just before 6pm on the night of Wednesday 29 January when two males have entered the store and threatened staff to open the till while holding a stick.
However, they ran form the store empty-handed after being challenged by staff.
The first suspect is described as white, approximately 5ft 10in tall, of slim build, and wearing black trousers and a black jacket. He was also wearing a black hat and face covering and was wearing a rucksack.
The second suspect is described as white, approximately 5 ft 10in tall, and of slim build. He was also wearing all black clothing, including a black face covering, a rucksack and carrying an implement described as a stick.
After leaving the store, we believe the suspects ran along King Edwards Drive towards Bilton Lane.
We are appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed the incident to get in touch.
We’re also asking motorists and residents to check their dashcam and doorbell video footage last night to see if it has captured the suspects in the area, either approaching the store or running away from it.
If you have footage or can help our investigation with any other information, please call us on 101 and pass information for incident number 12250017712.
If you wish to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
