TWO knife-wielding robbers escaped with cash after threatening a member of staff at a Kent supermarket.

The shopworker was approached by the pair as he arrived at the Lidl store in Quarry Hill Road in Tonbridge.

The robbers threatened him at knifepoint and forced him to open the safe before making off with an undisclosed amount of money.

The incident happened at about 6am on Tuesday. Anyone with any information is asked to contact West Kent Police or Crimestoppers.
