Guard and passer-by shot in raid at Tesco

A Security Guard and a man who went to help him were shot during an attempted robbery outside a Tesco supermarket.

The Licensed Security Officer, in his thirties, was undergoing surgery and was said to be in a serious condition. The passer-by who intervened is believed to have suffered minor injuries.

Two men are being hunted by police. They drove away from the supermarket in London Road, Tring, on a Triumph motorcycle which was later found dumped nearby.

The thieves struck as a security armoured van delivered cash for the ATM outside the store.

Shoppers ran for cover as shots rang out just after 7.30am. The robbers are believed to have escaped empty-handed.

Police said both victims taken to Stoke Mandeville hospital and said the weapon was believed to be an air rifle.

Detective Inspector Mick Trotman added: "This was a targeted pre-planned incident, which is a very rare occurrence in Tring, and we are treating this very seriously."

Hours earlier a security personnel was forced to lie on the floor and a gun was pointed at the head of another when they were ambushed by three men in Andover, Hampshire.
