CCTV images of the moment a man wearing a balaclava robbed a Co-Operative store in Ryde on Tuesday have been released by Police in the hope that the suspect can be identified.
3 staff members were assaulted when the unknown male walked into The Co-Operative Store on Somerset Road at around 22:10 on Tuesday evening before making off with just £80 in cash, as first reported by Island Echo.
One of the staff members had to be treated at St Mary’s Hospital for a cut to one of his eyes.
Police believe that this latest incident may be linked to two similar robberies in Sandown and Shanklin last month.
The male suspect is described as White, aged in his 30’s, around 5’ 7″ to 5′-8” tall and of stocky build. He has a tribal tattoo on his lower arm and was wearing a black balaclava, black round neck t-shirt and green/dark coloured trousers.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting 44160105160. Information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
