The pair threatened staff with large knives before leaving the premises with bottles of alcohol. They ran off from the shop down Elmton Road before turning right on to Sheffield Road towards Mansfield Road.

A number of cars were in the area at the time the pair made their escape and officers are keen to hear from any drivers who may have dashcam footage of the offenders.
