A petrol station attendant has been left shaken after having a knife pulled on him by a robber during a ram raid.
The drama began on Saturday morning at the Q8 service station in London Road, South Benfleet, when a white car hit a gas storage container which smashed the window of the shop.
The robber stole cash and 15 packs of cigarettes before driving off along the A13.
