THIEVES wearing scarves to cover their faces stole cash and a till tray during a burglary at a petrol station.
Dorset Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after the incident at the Esso garage in East Road, Bridport. The theft took place at around 10.49pm on Wednesday, May 3.
Officers have released two CCTV images of suspects to encourage witnesses to come forward.
One man entered the area behind the till and stole money from a safe under the counter. He then approached the cashier and grabbed the till tray. A second suspect stood watch by the entrance before the pair left the scene.
The till tray, a quantity of cash and a black A4 folder was stolen. No one was physically injured in the incident.
The first suspect is described as a man, six feet tall, of slim build and was wearing a grey hooded top with three lines down the arms, grey jogging bottoms tucked into white socks and dark-coloured trainers.
The second suspect is described as five feet eight inches tall, of slim build and was wearing a dark-coloured hooded top with three white lines on the arms, light blue trainers and was carrying a grey bag with shoulder straps. It is possible this suspect was a woman.
