Detectives are hunting a man and woman who staged an armed raid on a motel.

The couple, armed with a gun and a knife, attacked a middle-aged porter at Ye Olde Plough House Motel, in Bulphan.

The victim handed over £200 after a gun was put to his ear.

The robbers would not let the employee take medication for an angina attack and frog-marched him outside before making off in a car in the early hours of Wednesday.
