WORKERS at a pizza parlour were forced to hand over cash after they were held up by a knife-wielding robber.

Police are hunting the robber who walked into Dominos Pizza in Apple Acre Road, Haverhill, at about 11.45pm last night.

The raider initially walked into the takeaway and asked staff organise a taxi for him.

A member of staff spoke to the man, and a woman he was with, to try to arrange this.

But moments later, after the member of staff returned to the pizza shop, the man then walked into Dominos on his own, produced a knife and demanded that staff hand over cash. A quantity of money was handed over and the man ran out of the premises.

The robber was white, between 5ft 10ins and 6ft tall, of large build, in his late teens to 20s, wearing a grey and black striped hooded top, with a light coloured top underneath and a light coloured scarf and dark blue jeans with light blue fading down the front.

Police also need to speak to the woman he was with who is described as white, in her late teens to early 20s, wearing a dark coloured Parka-style waist length jacket, dark blue jeans and brown Ugg-style boots, as she may hold important information about this incident.

If you were in the area around this time or have any information about the robber please call Haverhill CID on 01284 774100 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
