Police have released CCTV footage of two teenagers who threatened a female shop worker with a machete and a sword during a robbery in south London. The incident occurred at an off-licence on Church Road in Mitcham shortly after 11pm on 13 November.
The suspects, believed to be aged between 16 and 18, entered the store with their faces covered and wearing goggles. One suspect carried a backpack containing a sword, while the other wielded a machete. The footage shows the first suspect walking behind the counter, with the second raising the machete and acting as a lookout before joining his accomplice to steal cash, cigarettes, and alcohol.
The suspect with the backpack was wearing a black jacket, black shoes, and black goggles. The machete-wielding suspect, described as thin and approximately 1.68m (5ft 6in), wore a black hat, black jacket, black shoes, and red goggles. Both wore gloves during the robbery.
Police are appealing for information to identify the teenagers and urge anyone with knowledge of the incident to come forward.
