POLICE have released footage of an armed robbery in Cambridge as part of a re-appeal for further information.

The robbery took place at William Hill bookmaker’s, in Mill Road, at about 9pm on Friday, August 24.

A man walked into the shop, threatened a member of staff with a hammer and made off with a quantity of cash.

“Anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, should contact police.”

Anyone with information should contact DC Hall, at Parkside Police Station, on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
