A shopworker managed to fend off two men who attempted to rob his store in Greenford Station in the early hours of Monday morning (9 June).

At around 4am, two men entered a shop inside the railway station and waited until the member of staff was alone.

One of the men pulled out a weapon and attempted to rob the member of staff, who used a knife to fend off the men.

Another member of staff came to the front of the shop, at which point both men left.

British Transport Police (BTP) would like to speak to the men pictured as they believe they may have information which could help the investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact British Transport Police by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 55 of 9 June.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.
