Police are appealing for information regarding a recent gun-point robbery at a south Essex convenience store.

According to local reports, the incident took place in Corringham Road, Stanford-le-Hope, at around 1.30pm on April 11. A man, hooded and wearing a face covering, entered the shop and produced what appeared to be a handgun.


He made threats and ordered a member of staff to hand over money from the till. The suspect then left the shop with a two-figure sum of cash.

An Essex Police spokesman commented: "We want to speak with a man pictured in the store's CCTV footage. We appreciate the image is not the clearest.

"The man has been described as white, with a pale complexion, around 6ft 2ins, of skinny build, with blue eyes and blonde eyebrows.

"He was wearing black trousers, hoodie and jacket, with a black face covering and bag worn across his torso.

"Anyone with information or relevant footage concerning this incident can get in touch by submitting a report on our website or by using our online Live Chat service available Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) between 10am-9pm."
