Police have launched an investigation after a man threatened Post Office staff with a gun in Wigan earlier today.

He subsequently fled the scene on City Road empty handed. It is believed he fled on foot down a nearby alleyway in the direction of Selkirk Grove.

Detectives have now released an image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

Detective Inspector Philip Housley of GMP’s Wigan district, said: “Thankfully no one sustained any injuries during the ordeal but staff were understandably left incredibly shaken and upset.

“We’ve launched a full investigation to piece together the full circumstances and we’re releasing an image of a man who we would like to speak to in connection with the incident. This incident occurred during the middle of the day so we’re appealing to anyone who may have been in the area at the time or saw anyone behaving suspiciously nearby to come forward and speak with police. “
