Four men arrested following armed robbery in New Mills

Glossop Police Safer Neighbourhood Team say they were called out at 11.56am on Wednesday November 26 to reports that a shop in Church Road had been robbed by two men, armed with a knife and a firearm.

A force spokesperson said: “Officers quickly attended the scene and, after crucial information was passed by members of the public, identified an address in New Street where the suspects may have entered.

“Due to the reports the men were armed, firearms officers attended and eventually arrested four men who were inside on suspicion of robbery.

“They remain in police custody.”

Residents will see an increased police presence today as the property in New Street is searched, as well as a further property on Jubilee Street linked to one of the men arrested.

Officers are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident and there is no wider risk to the public.
