Armed robbers raid BP garage

Posted by Greg Burns on Nov 28, 08 10:42 AM in People

Gun-toting intruders grabbed a bundle of cash from a security man during an audacious daylight raid on a BP Garage in Amersham on Thursday (27/11).
Three offenders confronted the security man on the forecourt of the garage, in White Lion Road, at 3pm.
One offender threatened the man with a gun and grabbed a security bag, loaded with money, before making off in a waiting getaway car - a Silver Audi A6.
The alarm was raised at 3pm and the garage was shut from 3.15pm until 7pm as a total of 16 Thames Valley Police officers arrived on the scene.
DS Dave Brandon took charge of the investigation. He said: "I would urge anyone who saw anything to contact me at Amersham Police Station on 0845 8505 505."

Thursday was the 27th, not the 28th.
In an article like this, where the police are asking for witnesses and information it is REALLY important to get such things right.
