Northfield shop raiders hold gun to head of shopkeeper

One of the duo was carrying what looked like a firearm in a plastic bag and demanded money from the till, along with alcohol and cigarettes but they fled empty-handed when the store worker refused their demands.
Investigating officer DC Michelle Beasley, of West Midlands Police, said: “The storekeeper remained calm throughout what must have been a very alarming ordeal. He refused to give the robbers cash – even when they moved behind the counter and held the what is believed to be a gun to his head. Despite their threats, the men eventually left empty handed and made off towards Frankley.”
The man carrying the bag is described as white and aged 16-17, 5ft 9ins tall and of medium build. He was wearing a dark coloured padded jacket, grey jeans and a green camouflage face covering.
The second man was Asian and in his mid teens, 5ft 7ins tall and of a skinny build. He was wearing a black padded body warmer and black tracksuit bottoms.
Anyone who recognises the men are urged to call DC Beasley on 101, alternatively information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
