Two masked men wielding weapons rob shop in Cannock
Two masked men who had a knife and a hammer have stolen cash and tobacco during a raid at a shop in Cannock.
The hooded men, who were wearing gloves, entered the shop on Cannock Road, Chadsmoor, at 9.55pm on Wednesday.
One of them had a hammer while the other had a knife. Threats were made to staff and the men fled before police arrived.

They believe the might have come out of the woodland onto Stratford Way, with one of them described as Asian, around 6ft tall and wearing a balaclava, a black jacket, black loose bottoms and black boots.
The only description police have of the second offender is a man who was dressed in black.
