Dear Resident,

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a business robbery in Hemel Hempstead.

At around 1.10pm yesterday (Sunday 22 December), it was reported that three men entered Currys on Apsley Mills Retail Park with bolt cutters.

Laptops were then removed from the displays and staff members were threatened. 

Detective Constable Christopher Holding, from the Dacorum Local Crime Unit, said: “Our enquiries are continuing, and I am appealing for anyone with information to please contact police.
