Staff at a Middlesbrough off licence have spoke of their shock following an armed robbery on Monday evening.
A man claiming to have a gun stole cash from the Longlands Stores Premier Express shop on Longlands Road.
The incident took place at around 9.35pm when a man entered the store and threatened a member of staff leaving them terrified.
Ann Wilson, 46, was the only member of staff at work at the time.
Having only worked there a couple of months, the mother-of-two said: “I was standing outside having a cigarette when a man came and dropped his bike outside.
“I went back inside and went behind the counter.
“He said give me the money otherwise I will shoot you.
“I was in shock at the thought of what he was going to do. I just gave him the money.
“He went outside but then he came back in. He told me not to get my phone and then he went.”
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: “A member of shop staff, a woman, was left scared and shaken after the incident.
“The man then made off with an unknown amount of cash.”
The suspect has been described as a white man, wearing a woolly hat and a blue jacket.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or have information that could help the police, are asked to call the non-emergency number 101.
