"I would appeal to anyone who hasn't already come forward to contact police with any information, no matter how insignificant they think it might be.

"If you have any information about the incident please call the 24-hour Thames Valley Police enquiry centre on 101.

If they have got the weapon they will get the scum bag who did the robbery.

Just hope he doesn't get the judge that dished out the suspended sentence to the slag that slashed the driver in Oldham.
