Robberies In Tile Hill And Stoke Aldermoor

A shop assistant was forced to hand over cash when a man threatened her with a gun and demanded money.

He walked into Corrie Store in Delius Street, Tile Hill at 5pm on Friday with what is believed to have been a gun.

The man, who is black, 6ft and medium build took £64 in cash and ran off. The assistant was uninjured in the incident, but left very shaken.

The robber was seen making off along Aldrich Avenue towards the woods.

A sky blue scarf was covering the lower half of his face, and he was also wearing a hooded top and blue baggy trousers.

Police are investigating a separate incident in Treforest Road, Stoke Aldermoor, when a student was robbed of cash and bank cards.

He was threatened at 8.55am in the street by two offenders, but was left unharmed after he allowed his attackers to search his pockets.
