Two men robbed a petrol station this morning, threatening staff before making off with cigarettes and cash.

Police were called at around 4.40am to reports of the raid at Parkfoot Garage, in West Malling.

Officers are working to find the pair, who acted aggressively to two members of staff working overnight.

The BP petrol station, on A20 London Road, was revamped in 2013 and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

David Charman, owner, said: "Luckily there were no injuries and no damage done, only aggressive behaviour to staff.

"It's unfortunate, but these things happen. The two men are being searched for by police now."

A police spokesman confirmed they were called out to the incident.

A statement read: "Kent Police was called at 4.40am to a report of a robbery at the BP garage.

"It was reported that two men entered the premises and made threats to staff before leaving with quantities of cigarettes and cash. Enquiries are ongoing to locate the offenders."

The store is operating as usual, it's currently unknown how much the robbers made off with.
