“We also know robberies of this nature can have a lasting emotional impact on victims which goes beyond physical injury.

“Although we have arrested a suspect we still want to hear from anyone with information about what happened in the moments before, during and after this robbery.

“It is important that anyone with any information or relevant dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage contacts officers immediately.”
