Armed robbery at Reigate Morrisons

Armed robbery at Reigate Morrisons

An armed robbery occurred at Morrisons supermarket in Reigate yesterday (Tuesday 13 August).

Three men wearing hoods smashed their way in through the front entrance of the Bell Street branch at 1am.

Armed with crowbars, the robbers threatened staff and took two cash till drawers.

They made off in a dark-coloured 2002 or newer modelled Vauxhall Vectra towards High Street. No members of staff were injured during the incident.

Investigating Officer Detective Constable Steven Cassidy said: “This was a frightening incident for the members of staff who should not be subjected to this kind of behaviour at their workplace.

“This happened at a quiet time of night and caused a significant disturbance. With that in mind we are hoping that there may have been people in the area that can help us with more information.

“If you did see anything out of the ordinary for instance the Vauxhall Vectra before or after the robbery, or if you have any more information about the three men then please get in touch by calling us on 101 and quoting the reference number 45140067527.”
