The CCTV footage released by police shows a couple walking on Crosby Road alongside the Ultimate Carwash and a lone female walking around the Tanning shop opposite the Premier Mini Supermarket, from Wells Street and on to Crosby Road.

The time on the CCTV footage is one hour and three minutes slow and so the actual time of the footage is 20.24hrs.

Police say these three people were in the area of the shop where the armed robbery occurred and may well have witnessed something which would assist the with enquiries.

In particular they would like to speak to a man standing near the pedestrian crossing opposite the Premier Mini Supermarket.

If anyone remembers being in that area at that time last Friday they are asked to contact Humberside Police.

The number to call is 101, quoting log reference 697 of 19/10/2012.
