INVESTIGATIONS are ongoing into an alleged armed robbery of a Co-op nearly one month later.
Dorset Police say that a man, who was in possession of a handgun, entered the Co-op in Beaufoy Close in Shaftesbury, demanded money from a shop worker and then left with a quantity of cash at 1.36pm on Wednesday, June 30.
A spokesman for Southern Co-op at the time said they were 'grateful that none of our colleagues were physically injured in this incident.'
Shortly after the reported incident, a man was arrested in relation to the alleged robbery and has been released under investigation.
