Masked man threatens staff in raid on York store

A full police investigation is underway after a raid on a York store last night (Saturday).

It happened at the Costcutter on Wains Grove at 7.25pm.

A man wearing a mask over most of his face came into the store and made threats towards staff.

He then took £130 cash from the till and left the store.

Police are asking anyone who recognises the man pictured in the CCTV to come forward, as they “believe that he may have information that will assist our investigation”.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “This incident has caused distress for the staff in the store and a full investigation is underway.
