Masked raiders burst into Kidderminster supermarket to steal cash
Three masked men burst into a supermarket and stole a quantity of cash.
The raiders, who had balaclavas and hoods covering their faces, grabbed the money including bags of coins at Asda in New Road, Kidderminster.
A member of staff who tried to stop them taking the money from was punched in the face but was not seriously injured.
The raid happened at about 10.30pm on Thursday as staff were cashing up.
Police have issued descriptions of two of the men. One of them was about 5ft 9ins tall and slim. Another was about 6ft tall and of medium build.
It is believed they made off on foot across the car park towards Stourport Road. Ds Steve Cook of West Mercia Police said: "It is thought at least one of the men spoke with a European, possibly Polish, accent.
"They ran off carrying a quantity of cash, mainly in bagged coins of various denominations. They would not have been able to get very far on foot with any quantity of coins, so it is possible they got into a vehicle.
"Asda is on the outskirts of town and there would have been people around at that time of night.
"We are also appealing to any bank or store staff who notice people trying to exchange coins for notes, banking large quantities of coins, or buying items with large quantities of coins, to contact us."
