Police have issued an image of a man they wish to speak to following an armed robbery in Droylsden on Friday
They were called to the incident after reports that a man with a weapon was causing a disturbance in a Spar store on Sunnyside Road
The man was wearing a balaclava and was holding what is believed to be a knife before making threats and taking around £3000 in cash.
Investigators at Ashton CID are now investigating and have released an image of a man they making efforts to identify as we think he holds important information about this robbery.
Detective Sergeant Pete Goddard, of our Ashton-under-Lyne CID, said: “One can only try and begin to imagine the shock and fear that those inside the shop will have felt when the offender cowardly came in with his face covered and made threats while wielding what we think was a knife.
“I know the image we have at this stage isn’t ideal, but we’re working with all available leads we can find and should a more distinctive image become available then we’ll come back to ask for further information if we’re still unable to identify the man in the CCTV image that we’ve released today.
