POLICE are hunting masked robbers who pinned a female member of staff down as they raided an Epsom bookmaker.
Officers were called to Betfred in Epsom High Street shortly after 9.20pm yesterday.
It is thought at least two men entered the premises and demanded cash. One of the men pinned the woman down, holding her face to the floor. The robbers escaped with what police called "a large quantity of cash".
The suspects are described as one white man and one black man, who both had their faces covered.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Jules Knowles, said: "From our initial enquiries we don't believe any threats were made of a weapon or weapons shown, however this was still understandably a frightening experience for the bookmaker staff.
"This incident occurred during the evening in a town centre location and we are hopeful that someone may have seen those responsible either preparing for this offence beforehand or making off from the scene, potentially in a vehicle."
Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey Police on 101, quoting reference P139079187 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
