Shotgun brandished in Gedney Hill armed robbery

A Gedney Hill shop has been robbed at gunpoint.

Around 9pm on Thursday, December 6, a man entered the McColl’s Shop on Hillgate in Gedney Hill and threatened a member of staff with a shotgun. 

Police said no one was injured and the man made off with a quantity of cash. 

He is believed to have left the area in a small blue vehicle, possibly a Peugeot 306.

The man is described white, around 5’8” tall.

At the time he was wearing a dark coloured top with grey jogging bottoms.

It is believed that the vehicle involved may have been in collision with a lamppost on the B1166 near to the junction of Lutton Gate, shortly after the robbery.

Police are appealing for anyone in the Hillgate area of Gedney around 9pm last night, and also the area of the collision, to come forward if they think they have any information, no matter how small they think it may be to make contact.

Call 101 with information, quoting incident 452 of December 6.
