Staff threatened with hammer in shop robbery

March 13, 2025 by Grantham Matters Leave a Comment

Detectives are appealing for anyone with information to come forward following a robbery in Bottesford.

Just after 10.30am on Wednesday 12 March, a man went into a shop in Grantham Road and threatened staff with a hammer.

He then jumped over the counter, took a quantity of cigarettes and left in a silver Volkswagen Tiguan before police arrived. No-one was injured during the incident.

Detective Constable Gareth Pallister, the officer in the case, said: “While we’ve already spoken to several people about this incident, I’m appealing to the wider public to identify the person responsible.

“I’m particularly keen to speak to anyone who saw the silver Volkswagen around the time it happened – and particularly if you have any doorbell, CCTV or dashcam footage. Anything you’re able to provide could assist the investigation.”

You can pass on information by visiting https://www.leics.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/ and quoting reference 25*144044.

Alternatively call 101.
