Police this afternoon appealed for witnesses to an armed robbery in Cowley.

At about 6pm yesterday, two white men with scarves covering their faces, entered a property in the Chiltern Business Centre in Garsington Road and threatened a member of staff with a weapon.

Det Con Chris Bolger said: “The offenders fled the scene after they injured the man’s arm. It is unknown at this stage if anything was actually stolen during the incident.

“I appeal to anyone who was in this area of Oxford yesterday evening and saw two men acting suspiciously to contact police immediately.”

Anyone with information that could assist police enquiries is urged to contact Det Con Bolger via the Thames Valley Police Enquiry Centre on 0845 8 505 505. If you don’t want to speak to police and don’t want to leave your name contact the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
