Staff at a chip shop in Furness Vale were threatened with a hammer during a robbery.
Police are now appealing for information after a man entered the Chip Box, on the A6 Buxton Road, on Wednesday (28 July) at 4.15pm and threatened staff before demanding money from the till.
Staff then handed the man a quantity of cash and he left the shop.
The man is described as white and of stocky build. He was wearing a white face covering and long-sleeved grey and blue top, with black knee length shorts, and trainers.
He is understood to have left the shop in a white Vauxhall Vivaro van and driven off in the direction of Whaley Bridge.
