Businesses in Nether Edge are on high alert after a series of robberies this year.
On January 7th Threshers on Nether Edge Rd was held up by two armed men who got away with a substantial amount of cash from the till as well as a quantity of cigarettes and alcohol.
Store assistant Adam who was working at the time of the robbery said: “It was a harrowing experience and something I’m only just getting over.”
The Byron House Pub on the same road was robbed of the entire selection of keys for the premises including living accommodation above the Pub on 16th February.
Byron Landlord John says the robbers have caused him and his family a big inconvenience and “for the sake of the local community I hope the culprits are caught and brought to justice.”
South Yorkshire Police have said they’ve arrested a couple of people in connection with robberies in the local area but nobody has been charged as of yet.
