Armed robbery at a supermarket in Bolton

Police have released footage of an armed robbery at a supermarket on Manchester Road in Westhoughton. Three men were carrying crowbars and a machete-style knife.

This was terrifying experience for staff who were threatened at close quarters with a large knife and were left utterly shaken by the actions of these cowardly individuals. I would encourage people to carefully watch the CCTV footage. Even though the offenders are masked, you may still recognise something distinctive about them which could help with our investigation.

– Detective Constable Pamela Chandler, of GMP’s Bolton Borough
