POLICE are hunting a knifeman who robbed a Little Sutton supermarket last night, Thursday.

The offender, wearing a black balaclava and a white hooded top, burst into the Tesco Express store on Chester Road at 11.40pm and demanded cash, which terrified staff handed over. He then fled on foot.

A Cheshire police spokeswoman said: “None of the staff were harmed, but they were left incredibly shaken.

“The male offender is white, around 5ft 6-7ins tall, and of a stocky build. He was wearing dark blue jeans, white trainers and gloves. The white hooded top had black writing on the front.”

Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact Det Con Stuart Thomas on 01244 613150, or CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
