Knife raider robs store
9:02am Monday 8th September 2008
A man jumped across a shop counter wielding a knife and stole more than £300 from the till.
The robbery happened at the Co-op store in Bloxham High Street at 7pm on Friday.
Shop manager Darren Bott said: "The man had already been acting strangely, trying to buy something then saying he didn't have the money for it.
"He was then seen hanging around in the store. We think he had been waiting for other customers to leave before approaching the counter and carrying out the robbery."
Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Treasure Island: The Theatre Royal, Haymarket
I was set to interview Keith Allen in the run-up to Treasure Island, but he cancelled. I mention this non-event because, Allen not being someone I naturally associate with children’s entertainment, my central question was going to be: “Who’s the target audience?” The poster gave little away. Was it even to be a kids’ show? Would it be dark and/or adult? And how would he be playing Long John Silver? Straight-up murderous or loveable rogue? Having seen the show, I still don’t have my answer. What’s more, I’m not sure the production team has it, either.
