Police are hunting a determined armed robber in Bournemouth who stole two hundred pounds from an off-licence, just five minutes after unsuccessful attempt at a petrol station.

The suspect threatened a cashier at the Shell garage on Kinson Road on Sunday night, but the staff member refused to hand over their takings.

The knifeman fled empty handed, but only to East Howe Food and Wine, where he again threatened a worker with a knife, and this time did make off with cash, as well as eight cans of beer.
