Police were called to the Shell filling station in Hatfield Avenue, Fleetwood on Wednesday

Four men have been charged in connection with a robbery at a Lancashire petrol station.

Thousands of pounds were allegedly stolen when security guards were targeted at the Hatfield Avenue Shell garage in Fleetwood on Wednesday.

An axe was said to have been thrown at a police car during the raid, while a woman was dragged out of her vehicle.

Four men from the Bolton area, aged 22, 24, 27 and 32, have been charged with two counts of robbery.

They were also charged with dangerous driving and threatening a person in a public place with a bladed or pointed article.

They are due before Blackpool magistrates later.
