Two armed robberies in Cardiff and Birmingham Gardens overnight are believed to have been carried out by the same man.
Chinese takeaway restaurant Amazing Noodle on Harrison Street, Cardiff was the first to be targeted with two female staff being held at knife point around 9.30pm.
The women fled before the man was seen heading towards Thomas Street empty handed.
Birmingham Gardens’ Bogas Service Station was then held-up around half an hour later.
The man managed to flee with a small amount of cash.
