Balaclava-clad men wielding baseball bats raided a convenience store in Timperley this morning.
The two white males threatened the manager of the McColls store on Shaftesbury Avenue, close to the junction with Stockport Road.
A large amount of cigarettes were taken and the manager, though shaken, was unhurt.
One of the vehicles used in the incident had been stolen from a burglary a short while earlier on Woodlands Parkway, when a back door was smashed and the vehicle’s keys stolen.
A second vehicle was also taken, and both – a grey BMW X5 Estate (reg no WU63 EJA) and a silver BMW 320 (reg no MM12 ERY) are still missing.
Police have described the offenders as white Males, both slim, with one shorter than the other.
Anyone with information should ring 101 or anonymously at Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
