Maidenhead & Windsor

Police are appealing for witnesses after a shopkeeper was robbed at gunpoint in Maidenhead on Saturday (4/2).

At about 5.40pm, two men walked into Tittle Row stores in Altwood Road, Maidenhead. One of the men pointed a handgun at the shop owner, a man in his fifties, and told him to open the till.

The shop owner did so, and the men removed the cash trays and their contents before leaving the premises. Although shaken, the shop owner was not injured during the incident.

The man holding the gun had a mask covering most of his face, but is described as having a thin jaw and a southern accent. He was wearing a silver or grey jacket and dark trousers. There is no clear description of the second man.

Anyone who witnessed the incident, or who saw two men behaving suspiciously in the area at the time is asked to contact the investigating officer, PC Martin Dove, on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police or give your name, please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
