Man arrested in connection with bookies robbery

Lincolnshire police were called at about 6pm on Wednesday night (August 25) to reports that staff at the S&D Bookmakers at the Deeping Centre in Godsey Lane were given a threatening handwritten note demanding money be handed over to them shortly, and when no money was given, the man jumped over the counter and took an unknown quantity of cash from the till and made off.

Today Lincolnshire police said a 34-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of robbery.

Officers are still appealing for witnesses to come forward to help with the investigation.
