Officers have released CCTV images of a man they want to speak to in connection with a robbery incident at a convenience store in Warrington.

A woman working at the store in Chapel Lane, Burtonwood, was threatened by a man holding a sharp instrument after challenging him as he attempted to leave the shop with items that had not been paid for.

He then fled with the stolen items in the direction of the Chapel House pub.
