Gloucester: This morning, a shop worker had a pretty rough start to the day. Two masked robbers stormed into the shop on Seventh Avenue around 7:15 AM.
According to the police, they hit the staff member in the face before grabbing some cigarettes and tobacco from behind the counter. It all happened so fast!
The thieves stuffed the stolen goods into big containers and took off in a silver or grey Audi A3 just a few minutes later. They had actually parked that same car outside the shop a little earlier.
Luckily, the shop worker was checked by paramedics at the scene and didn’t need to go to the hospital. But the police are now on the hunt for the two guys involved.
They’ve released images of the suspects and are asking anyone who might have seen something to come forward. If you were driving in the area between 7 and 7:30 AM and have dashcam footage, they want to hear from you.
They’re also looking for anyone nearby who might have CCTV or any info that could help. You can report it online by quoting incident 61 from January 16. Let’s hope they catch these guys soon!
