A sixteen-year-old shop assistant was held at knifepoint
by youths who raided a Folkestone off-licence on Friday night. Two thugs, aged
about 16 and 17, burst into Rhodes Stores, the off-licence and grocers in
Bradstone Road, produced a knife and demanded cash from the till. The girl,
Michelle Jeffrey, the only person in the store at the time, opened the till and
gave the youths cash amounting to £180. Moments before, the owner Mr. Francis
Rickard had gone upstairs to make a cup of tea. The youths entered the shop and it is
believed a third waited outside and kept watch.
Police have appealed for witnesses or anyone
who was in the area between 6.45 and 7 p.m. on Friday to contact Folkestone
CID, telephone 54611. A police spokesman said “We are treating this as a serious incident
particularly in view of the fact that a weapon was used in the course of the
robbery”. Michelle was shaken but unharmed by the incident. The police
are looking for three youths, aged about 16 or 17.
One youth who entered the shop is described as five feet ten inches tall
with short mousy-coloured hair, wearing grey corduroys, a black donkey jacket
and dirty white plimsolls. The other is younger-looking, slightly shorter, with
short dark hair, wearing blue jeans and a camouflage jacket. The youth who
waited outside is of similar description.
