Armed robbery in Salford

Two staff members were threatened with claw hammers during an armed robbery in Salford.

At 8.50pm on Tuesday 10 January 2012, three men walked into McColls Convenience Store on Walkden Road, Walkden and demanded staff lay on the floor.

They walked into the back room and demanded the manager handed over money and put it in a plastic bag.

The men took cash from the till before they left.

No one was hurt.

All three men had their faces covered and spoke with Liverpool accents.

Police Constable Mark Cole from the Volume Crime Team said: "Thankfully no one was injured but obviously the staff have been left shaken and feared for their safety.

"We have released CCTV images of the men and I would urge anyone who recognises them to contact us. The clothing they wore is quite distinctive and we believe someone out there knows who is responsible."

Anyone with information should phone police on 0161 856 5260 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
