Detectives investigating an armed robbery at a Bradford petrol station today arrested a 27-year-old man.

The suspect, from Bradford, was being held in custody for questioning about the raid at the Shell petrol station in Haworth Road, Chellow Heights, early yesterday.

A shot was fired at a wall after a male cashier initally refused to open the till.

After forcing him to handover cash the gunman escaped in a silver Ford hatchback.

Police have further appealed for information about the robbery, which occurred at about 4.40am.

Anyone who can help should contact Airedale and North Bradford CID on 101 or CrimeStoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
