Drama unfolded when a shop in Ottery Road, Ottery became the scene of an armed robbery on Monday morning.

It believed that four male suspects entered the shop and held staff and customers at gunpoint, demanding the keys to the safe.

An undisclosed amount of money was taken before the suspects fled into the parking lot. They were confronted by police and several shots were exchanged between police and the suspects.

During the exchange of fire one of the suspects sustained a gunshot wound to the leg and arm. He was taken to a nearby hospital.

Two of the suspects were arrested on the scene and charged with armed robbery and attempted murder. The fourth suspect is still at large.
