Police are appealing for witnesses after a pregnant shop worker is said to have been shoved to the ground by armed robbers, who took off with cash and cigarettes.

The reported incident happened at the Norwich Express shop off Norwich Croft in Marston Green at around 5.15pm yesterday (9 November).

It's reported that there were around three armed robbers, and at least two are said to have been carrying guns during the robbery.

Police say the pregnant woman was left shaken but uninjured, and there are no immediate concerns for her unborn baby after a full check-up.

Two cars, a white Ford C-MAX and a white VW Golf were recovered nearby by officers and are believed to have been linked to the armed robbers.

Reports say the offenders wore masks. One was described as white, skinny, and around 5ft 7ins tall. He was wearing a grey hooded jacket with dark bottoms and had fresh scratches on his face.

CCTV and other enquiries are being carried out, and officers are now appealing for help to identify the masked robbers.
