The two suspects went into the shop in Leylands Road about 9.15pm carrying blades and demanded cash. The shop assistant ran out of the shop and one of the men stole money from the till while the other stole bottles of alcohol and cigarettes.

Both then left the store and turned right into St Aubyns Road. The first man was wearing a black hooded top with a black face covering and the second man was wearing a bright green hooded top and also had something black covering his face.
