A PETROL station and a video shop were both hit by robbers yesterday.

A Securicor guard was pushed to the ground by a black man wearing a hoodie as he left the Esso petrol station in Links Way, Beckenham, at 12.27pm.

The suspect then grabbed the cash box he was carrying and escaped in a waiting vehicle.

The cash box was found dumped in Scotts Lane, Bromley, seven minutes, emitting a high-pitched alarm and red smoke.

An unknown amount of cash was taken by two black males.

If you witnessed either incident, contact the Tower Bridge Flying Squad on 020 7407 6319.
