Police are continuing to appeal for information following a petrol station robbery in Skelmersdale, and have now released CCTV images of a man we would like to speak to.

The incident occurred at around 9.20pm on November 3rd 2018, when a man entered the Shell garage on Grimshaw Road and approached the counter with what appeared to be a shotgun. He demanded money from the till and made off in the direction of Windrows and Willow Hey with around £140.

He is described as white, aged around 40-years-old, dressed in a dark coat – which was possibly being worn inside out – with hood up, lighter tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

Police have been conducting enquiries since the incident occurred and are still asking members of the public with information about it to contact us.

“We are also continuing to ask anybody with information about the incident, or who was in the area at the time and saw anything unusual or suspicious, to get in touch.”
