A Wiltshire jewellery shop was targeted by a gang wearing balaclavas.

Two men went into Estcourt Jewellers in Eastcourt Street, Devizes, at about 13.45 BST on Saturday.

They demanded staff hand over money from the till but left empty handed, getting into a silver Vauxhall Astra which was driven by a third person, who was also wearing a balaclava.

The car turned left down Southbroom Road as it left, Wiltshire Police said.

The force said the car's number plate was covered, and enquiries are ongoing to trace the people involved.
