Police have released footage showing the moment a shopkeeper was threatened with a weapon in a robbery.

The incident took place at a shop in Caerleon Road, Newport, at about 9.40pm on December 9.

They left the area in a car, believed to be black Vauxhall Corsa.

Officers are working to identify the two people and have appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
