About 9.10pm (Sunday 5 December 2021), police were called to a supermarket on East Parade, Buxton, following reports of an armed robbery.
Upon arrival, police were told the two employees – a 47-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman – had closed and were leaving the premises when they were allegedly threatened by three unknown men in the carpark.
The three men – allegedly armed with a knife and firearm – demanded cash, before the male employee was allegedly stabbed in the hand.
