Man arrested in relation to robbery at Billingham convenience store


A man is due to answer police bail today after being arrested in connection with the robbery of a convenience store.


Detectives are investigating the raid at Tina Off-Licence and Convenience Store on Tuesday morning.


The incident took place at the store in Windlestone Road in Billingham at around 6.50am.


Police subsequently arrested a 42-year-old local man in connection with the incident.


He was later released on police bail and is due to return today.


Earlier this week, The Gazette reported that a man made off with £150 in cash after targeting the off-Licence and convenience store.


During the robbery, the suspect said he had a knife and demanded cash from the till.


No one was injured but a female shop assistant, who was in the store alone at the time, was left shaken.
