A NINETEEN-year-old shop assistant has been threatened twice within weeks by hooded men brandishing knives.

Two men made a repeat raid on Unwins Off-Licence in Wey Hill on Friday.

Police are appealing for information about the latest incident which happened at 12-45 pm.

Police launched an immediate search of the area following the raid, which has been linked to a similar incident on Saturday, March 22.

The men, thought to be in their 20s, were believed to have made their escape in a white Metro and drove off towards Tesco.

Using similar tactics to the March incident, one man threatened the teenager with a Stanley knife before opening the till and stealing around £200.

The thieves were described as white, around 6 ft tall and of medium build. Both carried Stanley knives. One man was wearing a light, baggy, hooded top and blue jeans. The other man was wearing a dark red or maroon long-sleeved, hooded top with beige gloves.

Police are examining CCTV footage of the Unwins raid, which is believed to have recorded the thieves as they carried out the crime.

The police are also linking the two Haslemere raids with a similar one in Farnham on April 6 and another raid on Threshers at Burpham, near Guildford, on Saturday, May 3.
