Police are hunting two armed robbers who held up a newsagent while dressed in panda onesies.

The two men went into the shop in Lincolnshire brandishing what appeared to be a handgun, and forced a female member of staff to hand over cash from the safe.

The woman was left unhurt but shaken by the incident.

The pair fled on foot, and residents living close to the shop in Eastgate, Louth are being asked to check their bins for any discarded clothing in case the men dumped the bizarre costumes nearby.

Retailers who stock similar suits and recall selling two of them recently have also been asked to contact detectives.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to call 101, quoting incident number 390 of November 29.
