At around 12.50am on Monday 12 December 2016, a man armed with a large knife, entered the Esso petrol station on Cowley Bridge Road in Exeter.
A man, thought to be in his late 30s, picked up a till which was located in the Subway concession of the store. He was unable to open the till and threatened a member of staff to hand over approximately £400 in notes.
The man left the shop and ran into an alleyway which leads through to Lower Argyll Mews. The police helicopter was called to assist in the search for this offender.
