Cash was stolen from a hotel in Buxton after a man walked in and threatened staff in the early hours of the morning.

A man entered the Buxton Crescent Hotel, in The Crescent, at about 5am on Easter Saturday (16 April). 

He threatened a member of staff before making off with cash in the direction of The Slopes.

Nobody was hurt in the incident but the staff member was left understandably shaken.
