Shop robbed at gunpoint by teenage girls

Two young girls burst into a Swindon shop with a gun and stole all the takings.

VK Stores owner Mohammed Hussain says he feared for his life when the teenagers demanded cash and then threatened to shoot him.

Mr Hussain, 30, who was working on his own at the time, said that it was all a blur as it happened so quickly.

"There were two girls aged around 15", he said. "They had a real gun and took all the money.

He said one girl shouted "Take the money out quickly otherwise I am going to shoot you".

The girls, which Mr Hussain described as white English, made off with more than £500 in notes and coins.
