A lone female worker was held up at knifepoint during a robbery at an Eston bookmaker.
Detectives are now appealing for witnesses after a “large quantity of cash” was taken following the knifepoint robbery at Ladbrokes on Eston High Street.
Police said that a member of staff, and a customer who tried to intervene, were left shaken after the incident which took place at around 6.35pm on Tuesday.
A spokeswoman for Cleveland Police said: “Two males entered the bookmakers through the front door and threatened the lone female member of staff with a knife before stealing a large quantity of cash.
“During the incident a male customer entered and tried to stop them but was pushed to the floor. The suspects left the premises and turned left, heading towards Eston Square.”
One is described as a white male, 6ft tall, slim to medium build, wearing a grey hooded top and grey tracksuit bottoms.
The other is described as a white male, around 5ft 8 inches tall, with a medium build. He was wearing a dark hooded top and light coloured tracksuit bottoms.
During the incident both attackers had most of their faces hidden by scarves or similar.
DC Mark Casey would like to hear from anybody who feels they can offer any information about the incident on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
