Dramatic CCTV shows the moment a man points a ‘gun’ at a fuel station cashier’s head, before stealing £1,000 worth of tobacco and e-cigarettes.

In the early hours of June 9, Corey Li entered the Asda fuel station on Wrexham Road in Rhostyllen, only 350 yards from his home, and demanded the worker open the till. Li had covered his face with a mask and armed himself with an imitation firearm. He pointed the handgun at the cashier’s head, before firing the weapon off to the side.
