The two balaclava-clad men struck at the Spar shop in Wordsley Green at around 10.30pm last night.

Police said today at least one of the men was armed with a hammer with witnesses saying the raiders had targeted the wines and spirits department.

The men left the store though a rear alleyway and it is believed they made off in a blue vehicle.

The store, which normally opens at 7am, remained closed this morning with a sign in the window saying it was due to an incident last night. It re-opened just after 10am.
