Police hunting two men who attacked a security guard as they robbed a Cinderhill petrol station are trying to trace a car used as a getaway vehicle.

The robbers struck at the Tesco Express service station on the A610 Nuthall Road at about 6.30pm on January 28.

They threatened staff with a gun and knife, hit the guard over the head then fled with cash.

They then ran over woodland and open ground behind the service station in the direction of Basford Hall College and Basford Miners’ Welfare.

Detectives think they then got into a white Vauxhall Insignia driving a route which may have included Goldcrest Road, Bagnall Road, Nuthall Road, Broxtowe Lane and Exbourne Road.

Empty cash boxes were found dumped in wheelie bins in nearby Exbourne Road.

Police say the security guard was not seriously hurt and has made a full recovery.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
