THE owners of a Wirral convenience store were threatened with a kitchen knife during an armed robbery on Sunday night.
At around 7.30pm, a man walked into 'R Late Stores' in Old Chester Road armed with a kitchen knife.
He threated the male and female shop keepers and demanded they hand over money from the till.
When the couple refused, the raider forced open the till himself and stole a quantity of cash before fleeing on foot in the direction of Highfield South. The two victims were distressed but unhurt.
The police were called and patrols, included an officer with a dog, searched the area but the offender could not be found.
Detectives are now investigating. Witnesses can call Wirral CID on 0151 777 2265 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
