Robbery at Little Chef on A46 Binley Woods

A member of staff at the Little Chef on the A46 at Binley Woods was threatened at knifepoint by a man who escaped with cash from the safe. The offender walked into the restaurant at shortly after 10pm on Tuesday, June 5 and went to the staff area at the back of the premises where he confronted two male members of staff. He grabbed one of the men and held a knife to his throat before dragging him to an office and demanding that he open the safe. The offender escaped with cash and is believed to have run across the A46 and into an industrial estate on the opposite side of the carriageway where a vehicle may have been parked.

The offender is described as a stockily and strongly built man. His face was totally covered by a balaclava. He wore a navy hooded top with two white stripes across the hood. He also wore a blue jacket, and dark coloured woollen gloves. He spoke with an accent - possibly Irish.
