Police are offering a GBP5000 reward for information leading to the arrest of four callous robbers who threatened the life of a four-year old girl on Thursday.

Thames Valley Police are offering a reward for information leading to the conviction of robbers after a four-year-old girl was held at gunpoint in a small shop robbery.

The seriously distraught young girl was present in Thursday's armed raid by four men at a convenience store in Wooburn Green, Buckinghamshire.

The assailants carried a handgun, a knife and baseball bats.

Police are offering a GBP5,000 reward.

Eight customers were inside the One Stop Convenience Store when a shop assistant was hit over the head with a baseball bat, Thames Police said.

A robber failed to break the reinforced window of the Post Office counter at the rear of the shop.

A second man threatened staff with a knife and the third accomplice guarded the door of the shop pointing his gun straight at the unnamed little girl.

All four men escaped with cash in a carrier bag.

They escaped in what is believed to be a dark green Ford Focus or new-style Fiesta.

Detective Constable Sarah Poolman has appealed for members of the public to come forward with information, to High Wycombe CID on 08458 505505, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
