A man wielding a large kitchen knife stole more than £250 from an off licence last night.

The man walked into the Boozebuster shop in Blackburn Road, Accrington, shortly before 8pm and demanded cash from the till.

He threatened the two staff with the knife before receiving the money and getting away.

The man is described as Asian, wearing a baseball cap, green top and black Adidas tracksuit bottoms.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
