Police link robberies after masked raiders target shops

The first incident happened at about 6.15pm on Monday when two men ran into the 7 Days store in St Andrew’s Square, Bolton-on-Dearne, and snatched money from the till.

Later that evening, at about 8.30pm, police believe the same two men entered the Food and Wine shop in Doncaster Road, Goldthorpe, and stole the till from behind the counter.

On both occasions, the two men are said to have been wearing masks and were extremely aggressive towards staff inside the shops. No one was injured during the incidents.

The men are reported to have left the area in a gold coloured SAAB convertible.

Police are treating the incidents as linked and are keen to hear from anyone with information.
