Police were called to Greggs on Baker’s Lane at 7.40am today (9th January) after two women employees were forced to open a safe.

A taser-type device was used on one of them who was unharmed but “understandably distressed” by the incident. Cash was taken during the robbery.

Police stopped a vehicle near Swadlincote at 9am in connection with the incident. A 33-year-old man from Coventry was arrested on suspicion of robbery, possession of class A drugs and theft of a motor vehicle.

A second man is also being sought in connection with the incident.

Detective Sergeant Peter Brazendale of Staffordshire Police said:

>  
> “We have patrols in the area and, following a swift first arrest, enquiries are ongoing to locate another man we believe was involved.  
>  
> “This was a frightening experience for the women at the shop and we welcome any information the public can provide to assist us.”
