ARMED robbers raided the Little Chef on the A31 at Winterborne Zelston this morning and tied up two employees.

Two men made off from the scene in a stolen blue Honda estate which was later abandoned at the Botany Bay pub along the A31.

No-one was injured in the raid, although it is believed that two staff members were tied up during the robbery.

The scene has been sealed off by police.

Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to ring Dorset Police on 01305 222 222
