Jan 15 2010 by Gary Porter, Chester Chronicle

TWO robbers stole cash and cigarettes in a terrifying raid on an off-license in Ellesmere Port.

The men targeted Bargain Booze in Princes Road at 8.10pm last night (Thursday, January 14).

One of the offenders stood by the door while his accomplice took hold of the female staff member, forced her to open the till and then ordered her to lie on the floor.

He then took a large amount of cash and cigarettes before fleeing.

The first man is described as being 5ft 10ins tall, wearing a black waterproof, waist-length jacket, and black gloves, bottoms and shoes.

His hood was partially covering his face.

The second offender was slightly shorter in height and was wearing a grey hooded jacket with a hood partly over his face.
