Police are hunting two armed robbers after a Kent supermarket was held up at gunpoint.

Staff at the Co-op, in High Street, Westerham, were closing up yesterday when the men stormed in and demanded cash.

One was carrying a knife and the other a gun.

The robbers stole money from a cash box and a shop till and then walked out of the shop.

No one was hurt in the robbery, which took place at around 9.30pm. But police did say staff were left shaken by what happened.

Detectives are now appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
