TWO members of staff from a shop were ambushed by robbers as they walked to a nearby post office with money in a bag for banking.

Police say the incident happened in the High Street, Rusthall, near Tunbridge Wells, at about 3pm on Monday.

The victims, from One Stop Shop, were approached from behind by the robbers who had emerged from the direction of Manor Road. They pushed one member of staff and grabbed the bag she was carrying.

The two men then ran back into Manor Road and got into a silver coloured N registration Ford saloon car and drove off in the direction of Speldhurst.

The woman who was pushed suffered a minor back injury as a result of the incident.

The robbers are described as white and both were wearing hooded tops with the hoods pulled up covering their heads. One is aged in his mid-20s.

Police would like to hear from anyone who saw the incident or who may have seen the car before the incident or as it was leaving the area.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact West Kent Police on 01732 370732 (if possible quoting reference 993) or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Callers to Crimestoppers do not have to leave their name.
