ARMED robbers have robbed a gambling shop in Marbella.

The group, carrying at least two guns, stormed the high street casino in San Pedro de Alcántara shortly after midnight last night.

It was an unusual time to carry out the robbery given it was during peak hours on a Friday night.

The group made off with more than €8,000.

Two shots were fired but no one was hurt during the raid on Plaza Juan Macias.

It’s possible they were blanks used to scare off the crowds, police sources told Diario Sur.

The three men have yet to be arrested.

Policía Nacional are investigating.
