Police have released closed circuit TV footage of an armed robbery at the Esso Four Winds petrol station in West Bay that occurred earlier this month.

DC Nathan Turner, the officer in charge of the enquiry, said: “The footage and stills clearly show the suspect walk across the forecourt and enter the gas station to commit the robbery. He cannot see anyone within the premises, so he goes outside and forces the pump attendant back into the store at gunpoint.

“He then threatens the attendant and a female worker within the gas station before making off with a sum of cash.”

No shots were fired and no-one was injured in the robbery, which happened around 9pm, Thursday, 7 October.

DC Turner said he hoped the release of the CCTV footage would jog people’s memories. “Did you see this man approach the gas station or make off from the scene? Do you recognise any of the clothing he’s wearing?”

He also appealed for the occupants of a dark coloured vehicle which was in the forecourt of the gas station to come forward.

“There was a man and a woman in the car and I would ask them to call me at West Bay police station – they may have information which would be vital to the enquiry,” DC Turner said.

The suspect is described as being medium to dark skinned, slim build, approximately 5’10” in height; his head was either shaved or bald at the back. He was wearing light blue calf length jeans, white trainers, a grey sweatshirt and a black ‘NY’ baseball cap. His lower face was covered with a dark blue bandana.

Anyone with information should contact West Bay CID on 949-3999, or Crime Stoppers 800-8477 (TIPS).
