A masked man armed with a claw
hammer stole £200 from a Coventry off-licence in a raid at the weekend.
The man walked into Acorn Wines
in Acorn Street, Stoke Aldermoor at 10.30pm on Saturday.
He swung a hammer at the
64-year-old shop assistant, who hurt his middle finger as he tried to
defend himself.
The attacker then jumped over
the counter and smashed the till with the hammer. He took £200 cash and fled.
Police are hunting for the
offender, who is white, 5ft 5in, medium build and was wearing a black
balaclava and dark clothing. People with information should call 024
