Dog fends off armed robber

    Police in Bradford are appealing for information after an armed robber entered a shop but was fended off by a dog.

    The incident took place at around 8.00pm on Thursday 22 November, when a male with a hammer entered J&R Newsagents in Little Horton Lane and made demands for cash.

    The suspect left empty handed after the store owner’s dog lunged at him.

    The suspect is believed to be an Asian male who is around 5ft 10ins tall and of slim build.

    He was wearing black clothing with a black hood up and was wearing a black material mask with a skeleton face.

    Enquiries are continuing and anyone who witnessed any suspicious activity or has information which may assist is asked to contact Bradford District CID on 101, quoting crime reference 13180587116, or use the live chat facility on the West Yorkshire Police website.
