Bexleyheath: Police are hunting for two men who held up a Welling off-licence armed with a gun.

The men, both wearing black balaclavas, went into the Threshers store in Welling Way at about 6pm on December 18, while the manager was on the phone in the rear office.

When he returned to the shop area, he found the men already behind the counter. One of the robbers pointed a black handgun at him and ordered him to lie on the floor.

The men then took cash from the till before escaping. The manager, who is in his 20s, was shocked but unhurt.

Both robbers were white, one wore a black jacket and jeans, the other wore blue jeans and a black and grey coat with white flashes.

Police want to hear from anyone in the area who saw the men either before or after the robbery. Anyone with information, should call the Bexleyheath Crime desk on 020 8284 9142.
