DETECTIVES are still trying to trace a robber who walked into a Winsford newsagents - and snatched £190.

The robbery happened on October 17, in Martins newsagents, Over Square, at around 7.50pm.

A shop assistant was barged away from the till as the robber reached in to snatch up the day's takings.

Detective Constable Karen Snasdell said: "We still don't know this man's identity, and although he hasn't struck again to our knowledge, the fear is that he may do so.

"If anyone does have information about this - if they were in the area at the time, or think they recognise the offender - they should contact us immediately."

The attacker was white, aged around 40, and was about 6ft 3ins tall. He is of thin build and has a grey complexion, with a dirty, unshaven look.

If you can help, ring DC Snasdell on 01606 48000, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
