Police release images of man wanted over violent Carlisle deli robbery

Police have issued a CCTV image of a man wanted for questioning over a robbery at Carlisle's The Lunch Club last month, when an offender threatened staff with a knife, then smashed a till over a cashier's head.

The deli is the same one at which police shot and killed a man threatening another worker with a knife in 2014.

About 2.40pm on December 12, a man entered the Oats Street deli and threatened counter staff with a knife while demanding money, police spokesman Andrew Maher said.

"The man grabbed the register and the staff intervened. The man then threw the cash register at the staff before fleeing the store on foot."

Police want to speak to this man in connection with the violent deli robbery.

A 39-year-old cashier was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries to her head from the till.

The offender was last seen running south on Harris Street.

Detectives believe the male pictured, captured on CCTV nearby shortly after the incident, may be able to assist with inquiries.
