A GUNMAN wearing a Halloween mask escaped with the contents of a Bloxham supermarket's safe.

The man went into the Co-op, in High Street, at about 9.45pm on Sunday, took out a gun and rounded up staff and customers.

He then told one of the employees to empty cash from the safe into a bag before he escaped.

The attacker was wearing a mask in the style of the horror film Scream.

Dc Lee Newman said: “Thankfully, no-one was hurt during the robbery, but many of the staff and customers were left shaken by the incident.

“I would like to hear from anyone who might have seen a man acting suspiciously in the Bloxham area at the time of the robbery, or anyone who may have seen the robber leaving the store and seen where he went."

Anyone with information should call Dc Newman on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
