"The man in the image we wanted to speak to about an attempted robbery in Donington le Heath has been identified and is assisting officers with their enquiries."

The incident happened at around 11.30am on Tuesday, January 31.

A man demanded money threatened staff, who refused to hand over any cash.

He then left the shop on foot. But no members of staff were injured during the incident.

Detective Constable Aldona Wolska, the investigating officer, said on Tuesday: "From enquiries carried out since the incident occurred, I believe the man pictured may have information that could help."
