A SLOUGH man has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a service station.

Two men entered Holtspur Service Station, A40, Beaconsfield, just before 3.30am on Tuesday morning, threatening staff with a hammer.

They then continued to steal cash and cigarettes before escaping in a white van, which was later found burnt out at Holtspur cemetery.

Thankfully no one was injured.

A 37-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday night in connection with the robbery but has since been released on conditional bail until April 17, pending further inquiries.
