A man has been arrested on suspicion of robbing a security guard in a raid on an inner city supermarket.
Two men grabbed a cash box from the guard outside Tesco on Overton Street in Edge Hill, Liverpool, at about 09:10 GMT, Merseyside Police said.
They escaped in a silver car driven by a third man, which was later found abandoned.
A 40-year-old Liverpool man was held, the force added.
Det Insp Natalie Charlesworth said: "We are in the very early stages of the investigation and we are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed what happened.
"If you live in the area or were driving past at the time, please check your CCTV or dashcam footage for anything that might help with the investigation.
"The smallest detail could be the key to finding those responsible and removing them from the streets."
