Armed robbers threatened staff with crowbars and stole cash and cigarettes in a raid on the Co-op store in Shavington earlier today.
Two men pulled up at the store on Rope Lane in a red car, police believe.
The men, who were both wearing balaclavas, entered via the rear entrance and then threatened members of staff with what are believed to have been crowbars.
They then stole a large quantity of cigarettes along with a quantity cash from the safe, before leaving the store and fleeing the scene in a black Kia Sorrento, which they stole from a member of staff.
The incident happened at around 5.30am today (Wednesday February 22).
The first offender is described as white, approximately 6ft, with light blue/green eyes.
