An investigation has been launched after a group of males attacked a man before robbing a shop in Highgate.
Four men – two armed with crowbars - burst into the shop at 6.30pm and assaulted a member of staff before stealing items including cash and cigarettes on Saturday November 6.
They then ran from the shop and boarded a tube at Highgate Underground Station.
Police have now released CCTV footage of the incident as they work to identify the suspects.
PC Daryl Belsey, from North Area CID, said: “This was a shocking and violent robbery which occurred in a popular shop which has formed part of the community for a large number of years.
“The incident would have been terrifying for the member of staff who was attacked – thankfully he was not seriously injured.
“It is my belief that these individuals are local to the Archway area and I would appeal to anyone who recognises these people to get in contact with police. We will be relentless in bringing these violent individuals to justice.”
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD6270/6Nov. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
