A HAND gun and crow bar wielding duo terrified two shop assistants as they trashed a convenience store before robbing it.

One of the staff members at the One Stop shop in Marsh View Court, Vange, has resigned and the other is now refusing to work evenings as a result of the incident.

The two men, who police are now desperately seeking, entered the shop at around 10pm and smashed beer bottles before brandishing the crow bar and hand gun and demanding money.
