THREE people have been arrested following the knifepoint robbery on a shop in Rubery.
West Mercia Police put out an appeal yesterday following the incident at the 24-hour Rubery Express store on New Road.
Shortly before 4am yesterday (Thursday), three men, armed with a machete, burst into the store and stole cash, vapes and the till.
Extensive enquiries and cross-border work with officers at West Midlands Police continued throughout the day and three men were arrested from the Birmingham area yesterday evening.
A machete was also recovered following the arrests.
The three men, aged 19, 22 and 26, all remain in police custody as the investigation continues to progress.
Initially it was thought three or four people were involved, investigating officers are now satisfied that it was three.
