Man stabbed in Farnworth robbery
10:09am Sunday 21st October 2012 in News
A SHOPKEEPER was stabbed in a terrifying robbery.
The 32-year-old man was closing the shop in Cawdor Street, Farnworth, when two men approached him and demanded the bag he was carrying.
They stabbed him in the back and fled with the bag, which contained a large amount of cash, at 7.30pm yesterday.
The victim was taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries, which are not life threatening.
Det Insp Michael Sanderson, of Bolton CID, said: “The offenders have used excessive violence in this robbery and are clearly prepared to do whatever it takes to get what they want. “The victim has suffered serious injuries and bravely tried to defend himself from his attackers. “I want anyone who saw people acting suspiciously in the area , has overheard someone talking about this robbery – either before or after it happened – or has any other information about what took place or who is responsible to contact the police in absolute confidence.”
One offender is described as being 6ft tall, of stocky build. He spoke with an eastern European accent and was wearing a dark hooded top and jeans. The second offender is described as being light skinned, 5ft 10in tall and of medium build. Both were armed with a knife and had tights over their heads.
Anyone with information is asked to call Bolton CID on 0161 856 5740, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Well the report did say 'light skinned', but it does show that when cultures that are as different as chalk & cheese come together, integration will never work! I know that anybody from any culture could commit a crime like this, but if immigration wasn't out of control, then these idiots would be doing this in the country where they belong, then I wouldn't give two hoots about it!

Bet you don't!
Most armed robberies are committed by white local working class thugs who have no fear. Just take a look around Bolton,Little Hulton....white thugs with hoods. These lot are unemployable and should be ferried to Australia. They are an absolute disgrace! Most Shopkeepers are Asian who work hard and are decent people and law-abiding too.

Which is bad considering how many more British people there are in England. Don't act like all the Asian population are angels.

I agree that there are a few Indian shopkeepers near me that are very pleasant people I have no problem with them what so ever.
