TWO masked men stole a substantial amount of cash from an amusement arcade after threatening staff with a knife.

It happened at Carousel, which is close to Iceland supermarket in Leytonstone High Road, at around 7.45pm last Wednesday (April 13).

Police have only just released information about the raid.

A spokesman said the two suspects were wearing masks and hoods, and one had a knife.

They demanded money from a safe which was then handed over.

The Guardian is awaiting more information from the police about what happened.

Anyone with information is urged to call detective constable Naz Rehman at Waltham Forest Police on 0203 276 0964 or 0203 276 0968.
