It's a Cinderella story, without a fairytale ending.
One of three robbers who jumped a fish and chip shop counter in Flaxmere left a shoe behind after he was briefly held down by workers and customers.
Flaxmere Fast Foods in the Swansea Road village, Flaxmere, was robbed about 7:15pm on Sunday.
Three offenders disguised with red bandanas jumped over the shop's counter before assaulting workers and taking money from the till.
They had earlier been seen donning their bandannas, and one of the trio may have also been in the area on a bicycle.
