The robbery took place at Tote Sport Bookmakers on Margetson Crescent at around 8.40pm on Thursday, July 1.

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said a man wearing a mask threatened an assistant and demanded money. The man fled with a very small amount of cash from the till, heading in the direction of the old Colley School site, towards Remington Road.
