Police still looking for smirking robber
2:10pm Sunday 13th December 2009
POLICE are still appealing for information to help trace a smirking robber who held a shopkeeper at knife point.
CCTV footage published in The Bolton News on Wednesday revealed the sickening moment a hooded robber attacked 19-year-old Richard Halford, flashing a grin to the camera as he held the knife to his throat.
The robber and his accomplice stole about £400 cash and scratch cards when then raided a Co-op store in Bury on November 30.
Mr Halford, of Stopes Road, Little Lever, was held in a head lock by one of the robbers who threatened to “slice him”.
Yesterday, Greater Manchester Police said they are still hunting the attackers.
Det Con Martin Brown said: “We have clear video footage of one of the men and we know that someone out there must recognise him.”
Anyone with information should call Bury CID on 0161 856 4647 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
