POLICE have renewed their appeals for information in relation to an armed robbery in which a victim was left with facial injuries.
The cash delivery worker was assaulted during the crime in Tattenham Corner, and the robber escaped with £45,000 in cash.
The raid happened at around 10.30am on Wednesday January 30 when the victim was making a routine stop at the Co-op store in Tattenham Crescent.
Deputy senior investigating officer Detective Sergeant Oana King, from Epsom CID, said: "I need local residents and workers to ask themselves a few simple questions including, do you shop regularly at this store? Were you there on the morning of Wednesday January 30? Or had you seen anything suspicious in this area in the days leading up to the robbery? If the answer is yes, please contact us.
"I would also appeal to anyone who saw the offenders park the car in North View Crescent to get in touch as your information, no matter how small or irrelevant you feel it is, could be vital to our investigation."
Neighbourhood Sergeant Karen Coyne, added: "Local officers have been using their specialist knowledge of the area to assist detectives with their investigation and anyone who would like to discuss this incident with them is urged to make contact."
Police have compiled this timeline of events in an effort to jog memories:
• Approximately 10.15am – A rare cream-coloured Chevrolet Captiva is seen circling the shops on Tattenham Crescent three times. The car was being driven with its headlights on even though it was a bright and sunny day.
• 10.20am – The cash delivery van pulls up to make a delivery and parks opposite the Co-op store.
• 10.23am – The Chevrolet enters the car parking area and reverse parks into a bay towards the end of the parade of shops alongside the Co-op and behind a silver vehicle.
• 10.29am – The Chevrolet remains stationary with its brake lights on while the passenger jumps out and attacks the cash delivery officer.
• 10.30am – The Chevrolet leaves the scene with the driver and passenger on board. It is believed it travelled along Shawley Way, turned left into Garlichill Road and then right into North View Crescent.
• 11.35am – The Chevrolet is found abandoned at the junction of Garlichill Road and North View Crescent by officers investigating the incident.
A man in his 40s from Battersea and a man in his 20s from the Southwark were arrested on suspicion of robbery in the days following the incident and remain on police bail until Friday March 15.
Following these arrests a number of search warrants were executed in the Box Hill area of Mole Valley and the Wandsworth area of London and a number of items were seized which are currently undergoing analysis.
