VIDEO: Attempted armed robbery, Margate
Investigations are underway following the attempted armed robbery of a Margate convenience store last night.
Around 11.15pm, a man entered the Oxley Avenue store armed with a hand gun and demanded cash from a male staff member.
The staff member refused and lifted a chair up to protect himself, before the man fled on foot empty-handed.
He was last seen running west on Hale Street.
He is described as Caucasian in appearance with a proportionate build and with short, dark hair.
He was wearing a light-coloured jacket, blue jeans, black shoes and a dark-coloured half face cover.
It appears that he has a tattoo of a cross and a chain on their left hand.
