Police have released this dramatic footage of an 18-year-old girl being held at knife
point and robbed at a cash machine in Devon. The teen was using a Lloyds cash-point
in East Street, South Molton at 8.52 pm on Friday, the 17th of January, when a masked
man burst in. He was armed with a large kitchen knife and demanded she withdraw £100.
The terrified teenage victim complied with his demand and was then told to wait in the
foyer for two minutes before leaving, as the armed robber ran off. The man is described
as white, in his early 20s, 6ft tall, with scrawny build, and dark brown hair. He was
carrying black plastic-handled kitchen knife with a six inch blade, which was serrated
all the way down with a straight flat back.
The victim was unharmed but was clearly left shaken by the attack. Police are now appealing
for witnesses.
