Police are appealing for information after three armed men robbed a betting shop in Wigan.
Shortly before 8.15pm on Tuesday 20 February, police were called to reports of robbery at a Betfred on Manchester Road.
Three masked men had entered the betting shop and made their way to the counter carrying a sledgehammer, a machete and a large knife.
The man carrying the sledgehammer struck the security door twice before he was joined by the other two offenders, who broke into the staff-only area and demanded money.
They took a large amount of cash from the till before fleeing from the shop in a black Ford Fiesta.
Police are now appealing for information as their enquiries into this incident continue.
