Detectives liaising with Dorset police after gunpoint robbery in supermarket car park

Has Hampshire gunman struck again?
HAS the Hampshire gunman struck again?
That’s what detectives are trying to establish after a gun point robbery in a supermarket car park last night.
The county’s major investigation team have been on the trail of an armed robber who struck twice during December in the New Forest.
On the first occasion he held up a Porsche driver as he parked up at Brockenhurst railway station around 6.30am on December 5. They have since released an artists sketch of the man who carried out the robbery.
Nine days later he struck again – this time at the home of a couple in Rookes Lane, Lymington, where he walked up their driveway and held a gun to the head of a woman aged 64.
In both robberies he got away with money.
Police have also looked at a gunpoint robbery at a post office in Highcliffe, Dorset, to establish if the same man could be responsible.
Now Hampshire police are again liaising with their colleagues in Dorset to see if there could be any connection with the latest terrifying incident which happened in Verwood on Friday evening.
The robber struck around 7.25pm in the car park of Morissons supermarket in the town and threatened a woman as she approached her car.
However the bid failed when she screamed out for help and the gunman ran off.
The offender is described as white, aged between 30 and 40, of medium build and weighing between 12 and 13 stone. He spoke with a northern accent and was clean shaven. He was wearing a black woollen hat low over his eyebrows with the rim turned up, a dark jumper with a black gillet over the top, which was done up and black woollen gloves.
Dorset police have said they are keeping an open mind about whether they are connected.
Anyone with information about any of the incidents is asked to contact Southampton’s major investigation team on 101 or Dorset police using the same number.
Four people have been arrested in connection with the raids in the New Forest - two have been released on bail, one released without charge and the fourth has been charged with an unrelated robbery.

On the 19th December the DE released a voice recording of the suspect made at the home of the Lymington victims.
Having listened to this recording ( it is still available on this site) I am convinced it is a County Durham/ Teeside accent. The victim of this latest incident yesterday at Verwood ,stated he spoke with a Northern accent.
The second is all these four incidents are linked in the fact that they have been in close proximity of mainly secluded car parks.
The Brockenhurst incident initiated in the railway station car park. Later the vehicle was left,intact with key, where the suspect stated it would be, a short distance from Brockenhurst Manor golf club car park.
In the second incident, in Rookes Lane, Lymington, this is almost adjacent to Woodside Gardens public car park.
In the third incident at Highcliffe-on-Sea post office, the suspect was seen making off in the direction of Christchurch, this would indicate he possibly used the nearby car park at the rear of Highcliffe medical centre. This would have been the nearest car park for him to access in that direction, rather than access other parks on foot further Eastwards in Highcliffe.
Yesterday's incident happened in darkness at Morrison's car park, Verwood. This is an extensive car park which extends some distance including the parking area outside of Verwood Leisure centre.
It is obvious he has access to his own vehicle to carry out these widespread offences, but there is also the possibility he has an accomplice who acts as his driver, therefore includes in his/her/their plans to have a secluded car park available in close proximity when committing and fulfilling these crimes, as well as somewhere discreet when making a quick change of clothes when disguising his appearance.

There are two common factors that have emanated from these four, possibly linked incidents.

n.b. if you answer "no" but it sounds a bit northern then hand yourself in anyway - you may be lying.

I would apologise for my error but for you I will make an exception your posts in the last two weeks are contain some of the vilest and disgusting language, not only to myself a but to other people who post their comments on the Echo forums.
I don’t necessarily agree with many posters comments but the vast majority like me will at least try to be considerate and try and put some thought into what we say. You on the other hand are not considerate in the slightest.
I am sure there are many posters who are fed up with your language from the cesspit, I have replied to every gutter comment you have made on this forum (feel free to check) in the last 2 weeks, and I will continue to do so.

Andy I will admit the comment that I was alluding to was made by another poster on another forum, therefore I was wrong.
