The three masked men made violent threats and demanded money from staff at Farmfoods on High Street, but fled when they refused.

Moments later, the same gang is believed to have been behind a second attempted armed robbery at Coral bookies on Owen Street.

West Midlands Police said: "Although the faces are covered in the CCTV footage, we believe they are from the local area and are hoping someone will recognise them."

It happened at around 8pm on June 29.
