FOUR teenagers — the youngest of whom is 14 — have been bailed in connection with an alleged armed robbery at a Forest pub.

The incident happened at around 10.15pm last Friday (September 2) at The Greyhound pub in The Slad near Littledean.

Four men are alleged to have forced their way into the pub after a woman knocked on the door and claimed to have broken down.

A member of staff was allegedly attacked and threatened with a knife. Watches and money from a safe were said to have been taken.

The member of staff, who did not suffer serious injuries, smelled smoke and called the fire brigade who extinguished the fire.

The pub remained closed over the weekend because of fire damage and to allow detectives to examine the scene.

A 19-year-old man, two 16-year-olds and a 14-year-old, who are all from Gloucester, have been bailed to return to Gloucestershire Police on Monday, December 5.

Anyone with information should call 101 and quote incident 20 of September 3 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
