BROMSGROVE Police have moved to reassure residents and businesses after a story about a robbery at a town centre shop earlier in the week.

The initial report released by the force suggested that a member of staff at Oswald Bailey had been robbed at knifepoint at 5.30pm on Saturday (September 29), with the takings being stolen.

Officers investigating found that, although cash was taken, there was no evidence there was a robbery.

It is believed someone walked into the shop through an unlocked door and stolen the takings from the counter.

Witnesses or anyone with any information should call police on 0300 333 3000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
