Detective Inspector Ian Dyer, of York CID, said: “Fortunately, nobody was injured in this incident but it is important that we identify the people involved as soon as possible.

“If you were in Betfred on Millfield Avenue on Tuesday evening or you saw anyone behaving suspiciously around the shop, please contact the police or Crimestoppers with information.

“I would also like to speak to you if you saw the black car that the men left in or if you can help to identify those responsible for this robbery.”
