Greater Manchester Police are appealing for information following a raid of a post office earlier in the month.
At around 3.10am on Saturday 7 July, officers were called to reports of an aggravated burglary at the Post Office on Haughton Green Road.
Two men forced entry and stole the contents of the cash machine.
They then used a fire extinguisher as a smoke distraction to mask their escape from CCTV and left in a light grey Mazda RX8 car towards Denton.
PC Christopher Oldham from GMP Tameside borough said: “I appreciate that this incident happened in the middle of the night, but I am appealing to any witnesses who may know something that can assist our enquiries.
“The offenders stole a significant amount of money, as well as causing substantial damage to the Post Office itself and we are doing everything we can to find the thieves.
“I would urge members of the public with any information to get in touch with police so we can find the people responsible.”
