Two men have been charged following an armed robbery in Telford last week.
The incident took place at around 8am at the Spar convenience store at the Leegomery Centre in Leegomery.
Matthew Reece, age 40, of Baldwin Webb Avenue, Donnington in Telford and Christopher Reece, age 35, of Church Street, Hadley in Telford, have both been charged with robbery.
They have also both been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and are due to appear before Kidderminster Magistrates’ Court this morning.
Five additional people arrested in connection with the incident remain on bail with conditions.
Det Insp Sean Brennan, of West Mercia Police, said: “Our investigation is still ongoing and I’d like to appeal for any witnesses to the incident on 12 October, who have not already done so, to please contact us.
“We’re also keen to hear from anyone who lives in the Leegomery area who has CCTV to check their systems for two men riding black mountain bikes through the estate at approximately 8am and the half hour either side on Tuesday 12 October.
“Also anyone driving through that area at around that time with dash cams, please review the footage and contact us if appropriate.”
Det Insp Brennan added: “Incidents of this nature are extremely rare in Telford and West Mercia Police will always react swiftly to protect the communities it serves.
