A WORKER at a Petersfield petrol station was threatened with violence by a masked robber before handing over cash.

The robbery took place at Ramshill Service Station early on Tuesday while the police have released a CCTV image of the suspect in the hope of attracting witnesses.

The incident took place between 3.50am and 4.10am while the culprit fled with £90 in cash after threatening the till worker.

No-one was injured but the incident, understandably, left the worker feeling shaken.

Police would like to speak to the man pictured or to anyone who saw someone wearing the same clothes in the area that morning.

Witnesses or anyone with information should call Butser Police on 101 quoting reference 44180238368 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
