NOTTS police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with a robbery.
Two masked (hooded) men, one armed with a gun and one brandishing a knife, raided Nuthall Convenience Store, in Ash Crescent, Nuthall, at about 9.10pm on Sunday.
They demanded money and escaped on foot with a quantity of cash from the till.
Ash Crescent resident Tony Fitzpatrick, 66, said he was shocked to hear about the robbery. "I can't understand why anyone would do it because there is a really good CCTV system in the shop," he said.
"I go in there every day and I know the staff well. It's terrible. I'm a widower now but if my wife was still alive I wouldn't want her working in there – most of the staff are women and it's just really scary."
Both of the men were either black or mixed race, in their late teens or early twenties, and had their faces covered.
One of the suspects was wearing a grey waterproof jacket, with stripes down the sleeves, and the hood up, black jogging bottoms, black gloves and black trainers with a thin sole.
He was seen carrying what is believed to be a gun. The other offender, who was carrying a knife, is described as being between 5ft 7ins and 5ft 9ins tall.
He was wearing a dark blue hooded jumper with black stripes down the sleeves, dark blue tracksuit bottoms and black boots.
He was also wearing thick brightly coloured gloves.
Detective Inspector Andrew Bateman, from Beeston CID, said: "This was a nasty incident which has left the staff member involved incredibly shaken.
"Officers are reviewing CCTV and carrying out house-to-house inquiries. We are determined to find these men and bring them to justice.
Anyone with information is asked to call Beeston CID on 101, extension 812 5635.
