A ROBBER burst into a Canvey petrol station and fled with more than £100 in cash.

The man entered the BP service station, in Long Road, and demanded cash from the 18-year-old woman cashier.

He fled across the forecourt with a three figure sum of money.

He was white, about six feet tall, and wearing a black top with the hood pulled up. He had a black scarf over his face, black tracksuit bottoms and white trainers.
