Staff at a Kirby Muxloe shop were threatened with a knife and forced to hand over cash to three masked men at the weekend, which police think could be linked to a second robbery in Leicester.
It happened shortly before 23.00 on Sunday at the store in Main Street and the suspects ushered staff into the back of the shop before taking the money and running off on foot.
Det Con Xanthe Fisher said no-one was injured but staff were left shaken.
Image source, GoogleHe said officers were not ruling out the possibility the robbery was linked to another similar one at 07.00 on Sunday at a convenience store on Aylestone Road near to the junction of Middleton Street.
He added: “Slightly earlier at 06.30 an attempt was made to gain access to a shop on Watergate Lane in Braunstone Town.
“These robberies have happened either early in the morning or late at night potentially when members of staff would be accessing the safe."
The seller said it lived for years on her floor, with children playing around it and the vacuum cleaner bumping against it.

Several motorists have been handed fines for parking illegally on a road near to the Padley Gorge beauty spot at the weekend.
Derbyshire police said they were called by concerned motorists trying to pass by the vehicles parking on the B6521 at Nether Padley, between Longshaw and Grindleford, on Sunday.
A force spokeswoman said it is illegal to park where there is a solid white line running down the centre of the road as it forces traffic onto the other side of the road.
Image source, Derbyshire ConstabularyPCSO Anthony Boswell, said: “Despite reminders and warnings, signs at the roadside to advise drivers and officers issuing traffic offence reports frequently, we continue to see motorists parking illegally at this spot."
He advised motorists to use a nearby pay and display car park.

A second CCTV car is in use across Nottinghamshire from today to catch people parking dangerously and inconsiderately outside schools and at bus stops.
County councillors brought in the car because of a high demand for the first one, which they've been using for more than two years and has lead to 1,000 fines being issued near schools and 500 at bus stops.
At Holgate Primary School in Hucknall a team of young road safety ambassadors have been handing out "thank you" notes to motorists parking safely.
Headteacher Emma Severn said they were working with residents and parents to ease the problem and the school has also created drop off and pick up zones.
She said the parents had been "quite moved" by the friendly notes from pupils.

More than £23m has been spent by Leicestershire County Council on buying office buildings to rent out, as it faces making £50m worth of cuts.
The council has bought Embankment House in Nottingham and adjourning development land and three office buildings on a Lichfield business park.
Deputy leader, Councillor Byron Rhodes, said the properties should earn the council £5m a year and give it a regular income, as well as help them "build up cash" for the future.
Image source, Amy OrtonHowever, Councillor Terri Eynon, leader of the Labour group, criticised the spending and said: "If we've got finance, why are we financing buildings when we could be supporting services?
"One of the biggest costs social care providers face is buildings, why don't we buy buildings for the care to be provided in?"

A poor dog had been left to die and dumped among this rubbish at the side of the A50 near Shardlow when he was rescued by an unsuspecting passer-by.
The terrier, who is not microchipped, had been left inside one of the bags, with his legs tied together and part of his tail cut off.
Image source, Chris WithingtonHe was found after Chris Withington (below) pulled into the lay-by to take a call and noticed movement coming from one of the bin bags.
Mr Withington took the dog home for a good wash and a shave and is now hoping to give it a new name and a home.
However he has to wait 24 days to allow the owner to come forward and claim the dog before he can legally take ownership.

A significant member of the Muslim community in Leicester has said there is "deep concern" about young children fasting during Ramadan.
Suleman Nagdi, from the Federation of Muslim Organisations (FMO), has posted a public statement claiming to have been contacted by local schools where children as young as seven are being "forced to fast".
Image source, Getty ImagesChildren do not typically begin fasting until they enter puberty.
He said: "In some instances these children are complaining to teachers about experiencing hunger and extreme thirst. When asked by the teachers about it they respond saying that they are expected to fast.
"We all know at what age fasting becomes obligatory, please, brothers and sisters, take into account the current hot weather and long fasts and don't force our young ones to fast when it's not expected of them."

A vase that has spent the last few years on a living room floor has just sold at auction for nearly £22,000.
The vase was bought by a woman for just £20 at a car boot sale in Leicester in the 1990s.
Image source, Gildings AuctioneersShe said she bought it because she needed something to put a tall floral arrangement in and had no idea it was made by famous potter Hans Coper.
Will Gilding, from Gildings Auctioneers in Market Harborough, said Coper became “the most important and respected potter of the 20th Century”.
Mr Gilding added the vase is unusual for Coper’s work in terms of the scale and thickness of the rim, but it does still have many of his trademarks in the textures and glazes.
