A shopkeeper and his wife were held up by masked robbers carrying what was believed to be a handgun.

They escaped with the till and all the money inside it.

No shots were fired.

The suspects are described as white and about 20 years old.

One was slim, wearing a dark balaclava and holding a small black handgun, while the second was chubby and wore dark clothing and a pink and white scarf around his face.
