On December 18 cash was stolen from Woolworths, on the High Street, and on Monday , cash was stolen from Ladbrokes bookmakers, on Jubilee Walk.
Haverhill district inspector Adrian Dawson said: “We are continually working with retailers and businesses in the town to give them reassurance and crime prevention advice, and we are happy to visit stores to help put practical measures in place.
“To suffer any armed robbery in Haverhill is extremely unusual. Suffolk remains a relatively safe county, and by working together with local people and business owners we can keep it that way.”
