Police launch CCTV appeal for robbers who carried a hammer in Merseyside

Detectives investigating an armed robbery at an off-licence in Litherland have released CCTV of three men they want to find.

The incident happened at the Bargain Booze shop on Ennerdale Drive at 8.40pm on May 17th.

Police were alerted by a member of staff reporting that three men had entered the store, one of whom was armed with a hammer.

One of the offenders then used the hammer to smash the security window and threaten staff before all of them ran off empty-handed.

Police say no-one was injured during the incident but the people working at the store were left extremely upset and distressed by what had happened.

Detective Constable Adam Dagnall from Sefton CID said:

Call Sefton CID on 0151 777 3823 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
