Armed robbers made off with cash from a garage in Jersey after threatening staff with a large knife.

Two hooded men walked into the forecourt office of Georgetown Garage late last night (Friday).

Staff were forced to open the cash till. Although no one was injured, police say staff were left extremely shaken.

Police are treating the robbery as a very serious incident and there's an appeal for witnesses.

The men had approached the forecourt from Aubin Lane, walking in front of the motorcycle shop and down a small flight of stairs. They left in the same direction. The robbery happened between 10.30 and 10.40.
