22-year-old student Isabel Ellis, who has only recently moved into the area, said: “It’s usually a quiet area. I haven’t had any issues so far, I thought it seemed quite friendly and nice, so it’s a bit of a surprise.”

A regular customer, Amanta Jose, 25, added: “I haven’t heard of anything like this incident round here before.”

Detective Constable Tim Townsend of Nottinghamshire Police said: “This was a frightening incident for the employee who was only going about his job.

“No one should be threatened while simply doing their job and that is why we are determined to track down whoever is responsible. We believe the men in these images may have information that will greatly help with our investigations and urge anyone with information to come forward.”

People with information are being urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 77 of September 9. Crimestoppers can also be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111.
