A man failed to rob a shop in Peterborough after the shopkeeper didn’t believe his ‘gun’ was real.
The man, who is described as white, about 18 years old, skinny build and about 5ft 8, attempted the armed robbery at a shop in Hill Close on 27 April at 8pm.
He handed the shopkeeper a note which just read ‘Cash’ before pulling out the ‘gun’ and then leaving empty handed.
An investigation is underway, anyone with information should contact us online or on 101 and quote 35/34308/23.
