Images released as Buxton robbery investigation continues

They are also wanting to speak to anyone in the local area who may have sold an axe like the one pictured recently, or may have noticed one discarded.

The robbery is believed to have happened at around 5am on Saturday 16 April. A man entered the Buxton Crescent Hotel, on The Crescent, and threatened a member of staff.

He then made off with cash in direction of The Slopes. No one was hurt in the incident, but the staff member was left understandably shaken.

It is hoped that although the images of the man are not the best quality, someone may recognise him, or the distinctive face mask the man was wearing, and come forward.
