Armed robbers raid Tadley shop
Thu, October 09 2008

Staff members taken to hospital with head injuries after armed gang rob Tadley motor cycle shop
 

TWO staff members received head injuries when an armed gang raided a Tadley shop this week.
A group of six men robbed Des Helyar Motor Cycles in Pamber Heath Road on Tuesday (October 8).
Sometime between 11.55am and 12.20pm, the gang entered the shop and threatened two members of staff with guns and knives.
The men then stole three motorcycles, a number of motorcycle helmets and the cash register before making off in a white Mercedes Sprinter van and a white Mercedes Luton van.
A 69-year-old man and a 42-year-old man received head injuries during the incident and were treated at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital.
All six men are described as black and were wearing hooded tops and had their faces covered by scarves.
Dc Pete Hanson, of Basingstoke CID, said: “This was a serious and violent robbery that left two members of staff requiring hospital treatment and we are determined to trace the people responsible.
“We want to hear from anyone with information about this incident, particularly anyone who saw either of the vans in the Tadley area on Tuesday.”
Anyone with information about the incident should contact Basingstoke CID, on 0845 0454545 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
