The pair, who were armed with a large kitchen knife and meat cleaver, held up the M&S food section of the BP garage off Hagley Road, Oldswinford.

A CCTV appeal was launched by West Midlands Police in the aftermath of the crime, which took place on August 25.

And now a 39-year-old from Stourbridge has been arrested on suspicion of robbery and bailed until October 24 as enquiries continue.

Now officers are keen to speak with another suspect, who has been described as 6ft tall with a full, gingery beard.

He was wearing tan-coloured shoes and a fit-bit, or similar-type watch on his wrist, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the force via Live Chat at WMP Online or call 101 and quote crime reference 20DY/202423H/19.
