STAFF at a Whitefield post office were threatened by armed raiders during a robbery.
Three men wearing balaclavas, one brandishing a large spanner, burst into the Park Lane Post Office at 5.25pm on Thursday (Dec 5) and threatened two female counter staff who were forced to hand over a quantity of cash.
After fleeing the shop, the men were seen running in the direction of Hawkstone Avenue where it is believed they got into a waiting vehicle.
The post office employees were not injured in the robbery but suffered shock.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information surrounding it is urged to contact Whitefield CID on 0161 856 8248 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
