Police issue CCTV image after robbers threaten petrol station staff with a knife and handgun.

Officers have issued a CCTV image after two men entered the Sainsbury's petrol station off Emmott Way at around 10.50pm on Friday 26 April 2019.

The offenders threatened staff with a knife and a handgun and demanded money from the tills before fleeing towards Rhodes Bank with a quantity of cash. Luckily no one was injured during the robbery, but staff were left understandably shaken.

Anyone who recognises the individuals in the picture, or has any information, should call police on 0161 856 8999 quoting incident number 2379 of 26/04/19.

Details can also be passed on anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
