Police have arrested a man after two back to back armed robberies that shook Shropshire last week.
West Mercia Police said it has arrested a 40-year-old man on suspicion of robbery from Market Drayton following robberies at village stores in Hodnet and Tern Hill on Thursday (26).
A man armed with a gun reportedly targeted Hodnet Village Store on Church Street at around 10:25 BST, but nothing was stolen.
The robbery at the Adastra Convenience Store on Tern Hill took place shortly afterwards, officers said.
No injuries were reported, but cash and cigarettes were taken from the Tern Hill store.
The force said there had been no wider threat to the public and appealed for witnesses or camera footage. The arrest has been made on the basis of suspicion of robbery and the investigation is still on.
