A man wielding a metal bar threatened staff
and stole cash from a bookmakers in Tyldesley
At about 7.25pm on Thursday 13 September 2012, the offender,
who had his face covered, went into Ladbrokes on Elliot Street, Tyldesley. There
were two other customers inside.
He went up to the cashier and hit the metal bar against the counter
and demanded cash.
Money was
handed over and the man walked out.
He is described as being white, of slim build, about 5ft 9in to 5ft
10in tall, and in his mid to late 20s. He wore a grey/blue hooded top. He was
wearing white gloves, which may be cycling or cricket gloves.
He covered his face with
light coloured scarf tied up to his eyes and he used a laced JD Sports bag to
carry the money.
Detective
Constable Andrew Hill said: "Thankfully nobody was hurt although those affected
have been badly shaken up.
"Clearly this man has no issues in intimidating members of the
public and members of staff to get what he wants.
"The description we have issued, particularly in
relation to the scarf and gloves, is quite distinctive and I would urge any
witnesses who could help us to get in touch."
Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 0161
856 5307 or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555
111.
