Hotel staff robbed at knife-point by masked man who escaped with £30
A man wearing black gloves and a balaclava robbed the Aubrey Park Hotel and police are appealing for witnesses.
It happened at the hotel, on Hemel Hempstead Road in Redbourn, at around 1.40am on Tuesday, January 3.
The man entered the reception area and took around £30 in cash from the desk before demanding keys to the safe from staff.
Although he was in possession of a knife, staff refused to comply and he made off in a dark-coloured vehicle towards Redbourn Road.
He is described as white and of slim build. He was wearing black gloves, balaclava, long-sleeved top and shoes.
