A crime-hit Co-op has been targeted by knife-wielding robbers - just weeks after thieves used explosives to blow up a cash machine.
Witnesses say three raiders entered the store in Faversham Road, Kennington, and stole a bottle of alcohol.
Police were called to the store at about 8am after staff were threatened with a knife.
No one was injured and police have been contacted for comment.
Earlier this month, a bomb disposal team was called out after the store's cash machine was targeted in the early hours.
In a separate incident in November, thieves smashed their way through the front of the building, swiping scratch cards, alcohol and cigarettes at about 2.30am.
