A SHOPKEEPER was assaulted and robbed during a terrifying incident in Dudley.

The robbery took place at the Mini Market in Priory Road, around 9.45pm on Thursday, April 26.

Two male offenders entered the shop and demanded a quantity of cash, before reportedly hitting the shopkeeper on the head with a hammer.

The offenders made off in a car, thought to be a red Volvo, with the money.

He was wearing a red item, thought to be a t-shirt, underneath the top and had dark trousers with white stripe down the side.
