AN ARMED raid on a Sidcup off-licence has left it with a £6,000 New Year hangover.
Now police want the public's help in tracking down the men who raided the Thresher's off-licence in Sherwood Park Avenue, Sidcup, at 10.10am on January 2.
One asked a cashier the price of a bottle of spirits and, when she turned to check the price, leapt over the desk brandishing a large kitchen knife.
He then grabbed the cashier round the throat and his accomplice burst in.
They locked the cashier in the toilet while they emptied the till of £6,035.49 and filled bins with packets of cigarettes with a total value of several hundreds of pounds.
The men then escaped through the back entrance of the shop and ran down Penhill Road.
The first was white, about 5ft 7in and slim. He was wearing black tracksuit bottoms with the word "Polo" in white writing on the left leg and a fluorescent yellow safety jacket.
The second was 6ft and was wearing a stocking over his head with black tracksuit bottoms and a red shirt under a cream jacket. Both men spoke in London accents.
