The incident took place at around 9.45pm on Saturday 4 December at the service station on Newport Road.

Police say a white transit van, reported stolen from the Oakengates area earlier in the evening, and a black VW Golf were involved.

Number plates were also reported stolen from the car park of business premises in Central Park.

A quantity of cash was reported stolen.

The van was abandoned nearby and the golf was driven away, travelling south on the M6.
