Watch as one of the perpetrators points an imitation firearm directly at the cashier, while another man jumps over the counter with a knife.
Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment two men armed with an imitation firearm and a knife robbed a service station. Jack Knight, 44, and Grant Bolden, 39, entered the shop at 10.35pm on September 27 2023. Knight was seen to immediately point what looked like a handgun, but was later established to be an air gun, at the cashier as he moved towards the counter. Bolden brandished a knife as he leapt over the counter to demand money and cigarettes.
On October 17, police issued a CCTV appeal on social media and Bolden was identified as one of the people pictured. Further work by officers, including analysis of the clothes the suspects were seen to wear, identified both Bolden and Knight as the perpetrators. Knight and Bolden each admitted a charge of robbery at Chelmsford Crown Court. Knight, of Flitch Green, Dunmow, was jailed for four-and-a-half years on March 7. Bolden, of Hunters Way, Saffron Walden, was jailed for seven years on May 9.
