Police have arrested four men after armed raiders attempted to rob a fried chicken shop in Beckenham.

Staff at Favourite Fried Chicken & Ribs in the High Street were threatened by men wielding knives at around 9.25pm last night (January 19).

But the workers did not hand over any cash and the men fled the scene.

Two men from Merton, aged 18 and 25, a 24-year-old man from New Malden and and a 22-year-old man from Beckenham, were arrested nearby.

They all remain in custody at Bromley police station.
