Man with knife terrorizes Eccles arcade workers in robbery


A masked man held up an amusement arcade in Eccles armed with a knife.

At around 4.45pm on Friday 11 December the man walked into Reel Time Amusements on Church Street and put on a balaclava while waiting in the doorway.

CCTV footage obtained by police shows the man was dressed in a black hooded top, with black trousers, and was wearing black leather gloves.

Pulling out a knife he charged at the two female staff on duty making threats, before escaping on foot with over £1,000 in cash.

Police are now appealing for any witnesses who may have been in the Church Street area at the time to come forward.

Anyone with any information is asked to call Greater Manchester Police on 101, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
