Two men robbed an Oxford off-licence by pinning the shopkeeper into a corner and making off with vodka and cigarettes.

The pair robbed the Seven Eleven in Iffley Road after one of the crooks asked to take a bottle of vodka outside to show it to his friend.

When the shopkeeper refused the man, described as Asian and in his early 30s, he left the store before returning with his friend and detaining the proprietor.

A man described as white and also in his early 30s then stole the items.

The incident happened on Sunday, at around 8pm.

The Asian man was described as six foot tall, with a thin face and short dark hair and was wearing a black cotton jacket and a silver chain on his left arm.

The white man was described as 5’10” tall with a fat face, short blond to light brown hair and was wearing a white short sleeved shirt.
