Police are appealing for information after a robbery at the Coral Bookmakers in Eston at the weekend.

At around 3.15pm on Saturday, two men in dark clothing and with their faces covered entered the betting shop on Fabian Road, threatened the female staff and stole an amount of cash before making off.

The women were uninjured but left very shaken.

Anyone who was in the area at the time and who may have seen these two men, or who has private CCTV or dashcam footage which could help our inquiries, is asked to contact DC Garrett via the non-emergency number 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Just before 9.15pm the team were contacted by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service with a request to assist them at Castleton where a car had reportedly gone off the road and down an embankment.

North Yorkshire Police were also in attendance.

Team members were called out from home and drivers were allocated to take the teams two Land Rover ambulances.

Whilst en-route, the team were advised that the driver was in an ambulance receiving treatment, so our assistance was no longer required.

22 Team members were involved (plus two co-ordinating remotely) for approximately 30 minutes.
