He demanded money and threatened workers with a knife.

When he was given the money, he left.

The man is described as being white, 5ft 8in, in his late teens/early 20s, of slim build, had a thin face and bad complexion.

He wore a grey hooded top, dark Nike tracksuit bottoms and black trainers.

Detective Constable Paul Reynolds said: “We have obtained an image from the shop’s CCTV.

“Although it isn’t the best of quality, the bag the man is carrying is distinctive and I would ask anyone who may recognise the person in the picture to contact us.”

Anyone with information should phone police on 0161 856 5351 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
