I was waiting at the bus stop across the road from the convenience store when I noticed a car speeding off. This was just after the robbery, though I didn't realise what had happened at the time. The car stood out because it was going much faster than any of the other traffic. It seemed like it was in a real rush to get away.

The car was silver, but I couldn't say what make or model it was. However, I did manage to catch the last three digits of the number plate: 'GHT.' I remember them so clearly because those are my partner's initials, so it stuck with me immediately. I didn't see the rest of the number plate, and everything happened so quickly that I didn't get a proper look at the driver or any other details.

At first, I didn't think much of it—just a car speeding away—but once I heard about the robbery, I realised the car might be important. I know it's not a lot of information, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
