Two armed robbers escaped with cash from a village shop.

The raiders struck at Lepton Food And Wine on Highgate Lane in Lepton at around 8.15pm last night.

One threatened the staff member with a gun and the other was carrying a knife.

The balaclava-clad thieves escaped with cash and sped off in a dark-coloured car that was parked just outside.

Det Con Dave Kinghorn, of Kirklees CID intelligence unit, said: "Did anyone see where they went after then or have a good description of the car.

"Did anyone see the robbers hanging around outside the shop before they went in?

"Did anyone see them running out of the shop and climbing into the getaway car? Was there a driver already in the vehicle?"
