Masked raid at pawn shop

Three masked raiders stormed a pawn shop in Bearwood escaping with thousands of pounds worth of cash and jewellery.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the robbery, which happened yesterday at Albermarle and Bond Ltd. The men armed with a crowbar entered the shop in Bearwood Road at 4.45pm and forced staff to the floor.

Officers want to hear from anyone who may have seen a dark coloured Volkswagen Golf, registration KR56 PFR, near the scene.
