Police are appealing for witnesses after an armed robbery at Henry’s Pantry and Liquor Store.

A police spokeswoman said that at about 6.15pm on Saturday, officers responded to a report of a robbery at the store on South Shore Road, Southampton.

“Early reports suggest that two men, one armed with a knife, entered the store and made demands for money,” the spokeswoman said.

She added: “A store employee handed over an unknown sum of cash to the assailants, who then left the store riding a motorcycle in an easterly direction along South Road.”

The suspects are described as two dark-skinned males. One is 5ft 6in, the other approximately 6ft. Both are said to be medium-built and wore dark clothing and shoes. Both suspects also wore gloves and black helmets.
