Gloucestershire Police have confirmed that a man has been arrested in connection with an incident at a Dursley store earlier this month.

Police were called shortly before 10am on Saturday 3 May to reports that a man had gone into a shop on Silver Street and stolen an item.

When he was challenged by a member of staff, officers say that the man then revealed a bladed weapon that he was carrying before leaving the shop.

Police attended the scene and searched for the suspect, however he was not located.

A CCTV image was released later that day in a bid to identify a man in connection with the incident.

On Thursday 8 May a man aged in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of robbery.

He has been released on bail pending further enquiries and the investigation is ongoing.
