Armed robbers have struck at two Sutton bookies.

The three man gang struck at North Cheam's branch of Ladbroke on London Road last Saturday (December 29) at 6.05pm.

While the bookies was still open the three men, one armed with a shotgun, entered and threatened a female member of staff.

The robbers, who were wearing balaclavas and baggy casual clothing similar to ski wear, stole cash from the till before leaving.
