Loughborough Police Officers have this morning(Monday 21st April 2008) appealed for more information following a robbery at a roadside diner on the A6, Derby Road earlier this year.
The incident happened at around 1.30pm on Saturday February 9 at the Diner Café, which is situated close to the Warwick Way/Bishop Meadow Road roundabout, just as the owner was locking up for the day.
A man entered the diner through a back door and demanded money from the till. He was holding what is believed to be a small silver knife, approximately 3 to 4 inches long.
He made off on foot with around £90 in coins, across the lay-by, into a wooded area and towards a nearby housing estate. The victim followed him for a short time but was unable to keep up with him.
The suspect is described as white, 510" to 6 tall and of skinny build, aged in his late twenties to early thirties. He is described as having ‘a gingery-brown beard and was wearing a woollen hat, a grey-brown jacket and dark trousers.
A £1,000 reward has been offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible and officers hope this will encourage someone to come forward and contact them.
PC Jon Kay, who is investigating the incident said: "Enquiries into the incident have been ongoing but we are still no closer to identifying the man responsible. The victim of this incident was naturally left shaken and is very keen to this person to be caught.
"We would like ask people to think back and remember if they witnessed the incident or have any information might be linked to this robbery, to please get in touch.
"If you know who is responsible for this crime, please contact us. Small details could be really important in helping us to identify and trace the suspect so do get in touch if you think you can help."
