Police are appealing for information about the armed robbery at Tesco Express in Bowmont Square, Bicester, at around 10.27pm on Friday, July 31.
According to Thames Valley Police, a man entered the store armed with a box-cutter knife and demanded that a member of staff open the till.

The suspect is described as a white man with pale skin, a scruffy black beard and a local accent. He is around 5ft 9in tall and was wearing a black puffer jacket with the hood up, grey jogging bottoms and white socks, but no shoes.
Officers are also trying to trace four people who were inside the store at the time of the robbery.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: “If you think that these people could be you or if you were in the area at this time and remember seeing a man walking with white socks and no shoes, please get in contact.”
