A man threatened a Brackley shop worker with a knife during a robbery at a convenience store in the town. Cash was stolen during the incident on Tuesday afternoon (April 4) at the Co-op store in the High Street.

The man was handed cash before he left the store, turned right into Church Lane and left the area.
Throughout the incident, he kept a khaki-coloured coat over his head to obscure his face from CCTV cameras.

The suspect is described as a white man, who wore a grey sweatshirt, blue jeans, black Nike trainers with a white tick, and the khaki jacket.
