Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a robbery at the Clwydian Public House during the early hours of this morning (Friday, October 1).
Staff inside the High Street based pub were clearing away at around 12.30am when two men entered from the back of the premises. One of the offenders, who armed with a knife, demanded that the staff go into the office. Once all the staff were inside, the second offender, who is believed to have been armed with a crow bar, entered and took money from the safe and the till trays that were in the process of being emptied.
The two offenders left the public house and are believed to have escaped through the back of the pub, through the beer garden and on to Church Lane.
The staff were threatened during the incident but no one sustained any injuries.
