A VICTIM threatened with two bladed weapons was forced to hand over money to a robber in Earlswood Lakes.

“I understand that the local community will be concerned and I would like to reassure them that a thorough investigation is underway. I would urge anyone who witnessed anything suspicious to come forward as soon as possible.”
