A MASKED armed robber made off with takings from a Belbroughton restaurant after threatening staff with what they believe was a handgun.

The man targeted the A491-based Little Chef at around 8.30pm last Wednesday.

He escaped with £800 after forcing workers into a rear office to open the safe.

No-one was hurt but staff were left shaken.

The offender is described as white, around 5 ft 7in to 6ft tall and of stocky build.

Kidderminster police are appealing for witnesses to call them on 01562 820888 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
