Police appeal, in their words – Ed
A teenager has been arrested by police after an attempted armed robbery at jewellers in Sandown, Isle of Wight.
Officers were called around 12.10pm today, Wednesday, 6th January, after reports that a man had walked into Sandown Jewellers brandishing a kitchen-type knife and made demands.
