Police have released CCTV images following an armed robbery in Blackburn last month.
At just before 3pm on the 20th September, two men entered Humberstones Jewellers on King William Street, one of whom was armed with what appeared to be a black handgun.
The man threatened the staff and then with the other man, proceeded to smash the cabinets with hammers and stole a large quantity of high value watches which they placed into a satchel which the second offender was carrying. Both offenders then fled the scene on foot, going in different directions.
Detective Inspector Mark Vaughton said; “Fortunately, no one was injured but understandably everyone involved has been left extremely shaken by what can only be described as a terrifying ordeal.
“An investigation is underway and I would appeal to anybody that may have witnessed either; the robbery itself or the offenders leaving the scene to contact police immediately. In particular, if anyone recognises the men in the images then I would urge them to contact us as soon as possible.
“I would also appeal to anyone who may have seen anybody acting suspiciously in the area not only this afternoon but in the days leading up to the robbery to come forward and speak with police."

Rovers ordered to make Berg payment
Blackburn have been ordered to pay £2.25million in compensation to former manager Henning Berg by a High Court judge.
Former Rovers defender Berg's spell in charge at Ewood Park was brought to an end 57 days into a 3-year deal last December, following a run of one win in 10 matches.
The case argued by Blackburn was that managing director Derek Shaw acted without authority from owners Venky's in granting Berg a contract that entitled him to full payment of his agreement in the event of an early dismissal.
Venky's preference was a 12-month notice period, but Judge Mark Pelling dismissed the notion that Shaw lacked the authority to finalise the terms of Berg's deal.
