Police are hunting two robbers who escaped with a "substantial amount of money" after raiding a betting shop.
The pair struck at Stanley Racing, in Derry Avenue, South Ockendon, just after the shop opened at about 11.45am on Sunday.
A police spokesman said one man jumped over the counter and threatened the manager with a pointed weapon and demanded cash.
