ARMED robbers made off with cash and cigarettes from a Warwick shop after threatening staff with a blade.
The Co-Op shop on Cressida Close in Heathcote was targeted by three masked men at around 7am on Monday (January 21). It is believed one of the men was carrying a blade.
Staff were locked in a store cupboard for around an hour but no one was injured in the raid.
Police are appealing for witnesses.
