DETECTIVES in Watford are appealing for witnesses and information following a robbery at Chiquito's Restaurant at Woodside Leisure Park, Watford, on Saturday morning.
At about 9.25am police say two offenders entered the restaurant and threatened the 32-year-old manageress with a handgun. She was then forced to hand over an undisclosed sum of cash.
The suspects made off via the rear of the premises on to the footpath near the A405 North Orbital Road.
The man armed with the gun was described as black, 5ft 8in tall, and between 25 and 29 years old. His skin tone was described as "mid brown" with some facial hair and he was wearing dark clothing.
The other man was described as white, between 5ft 9in and 6ft tall, of slim build and aged between 20 and 25 years old. He was wearing a light-coloured jacket and blue jeans.
Detective Constable Trevor Rodenhurst, who is investigating the offence, said: "This was a very frightening ordeal for the member of staff and I would urge anyone who saw anything suspicious, or who has any information to contact me immediately.
"I am particularly interested to speak with anyone who may have seen these men get into any vehicle."
DC Rodenhurst can be contacted on 01923 472066.
