Police are this week hunting a pair of robbers who raided a video shop in New Addington, threatening a member of staff with a knife and dragging him across the floor.

The two suspects entered Apollo video shop on Central Parade just after 6.30pm last Wednesday (July 3) walking straight up the counter and pushing the blade into the victim's face.

Demanding money from the till, one suspect grabbed the victim by the neck and dragged him across the shop where he took a handful of cash from the trays.

Both suspects, aged around 18 years and 6ft, ran off down Central Parade towards Arnhem Drive.

Anyone with information should contact PC O'Neill at the South Norwood robbery squad on 020 8768 1212.
