Bedfordshire Police are appealing for witnesses and information following an armed robbery that occurred at Asda supermarket in Church Street in Biggleswade last night (Saturday 4th).
The incident happened at 10pm as staff were cashing up the day’s takings. Four masked men entered the store armed with what is believed to be copper pipes designed to look like firearms. They threatened staff and assaulted a security guard, who suffered minor injuries, before leaving with a substantial amount of cash.
The offenders left in a dark blue Audi A4 on false ’52 number plates, which was being driven by a fifth offender. They left in an unknown direction and later abandoned the vehicle which has since been recovered.
Dc Surinder Ram, from Bedford CID is investigating and would like to speak to anyone who has information about the robbery or was in the Asda car park before or around 10pm and recalls seeing the vehicle or the men.
Armed response vehicles were called to the area as soon as the alarm was raised and extensive search carried out but without success. An investigation into the offence is now underway.
Anyone with information should contact Dc Ram in confidence on 01234 275346 or call Bedfordshire police in confidence on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
