VIDEO: Police release footage from terrifying attempted Corby knifepoint robbery

Two men were caught on camera armed with a large knife and a sledgehammer committing the robbery at the One Stop Shop in Studfall Avenue.

At about 11.30pm on Sunday, August 28, the two men who can be seen wearing face coverings entered through the back of the store.

One of the men assaulted a member of staff and restrained them while the other suspect demanded money.

He was wearing black or dark navy Nike tracksuit bottoms, black trainers with white trim and a dark navy or black coat with a yellow collar and a thin yellow band across each upper arm.

He had on white gloves, a black woollen hat and a black face covering.
