Police have released an image of a grey vehicle as part of an investigation into a robbery at a Nuthall petrol station.

Robbers threatened a cashier with a crowbar before stealing a large quantity of cigarettes.

The incident happened around 11pm on Monday, April 13 at St Marys Filling Station on Nottingham Road, Nuthall.

A police spokesman said: "It was reported that three men forced entry into the petrol station using a crow bar.

"They approached the cashier and told him to stay in the corner and hand over cash.

"The suspects emptied the cigarette shelves into a white-coloured builder's bag before leaving the store.

"It’s believed they drove off in a grey Nissan Qashqai, as pictured."

The incident happened at the BP St Mary's petrol station, Nottingham Road, Nuthall.

Detective Constable Tony Tonks, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a frightening incident which left the cashier afraid for his safety, not knowing if the offenders would use the crowbar as a weapon. Thankfully he wasn’t hurt but he was left very shaken by what happened.
