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."
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.
“Our enquiries are ongoing and we’re urging anyone who saw anything suspicious or has any information about this incident to please get in touch with us.
“Did you see the suspects arriving or leaving in the grey vehicle as pictured? If you did then please get in touch. Any information you have, no matter how small, could be significant to our investigation.”
