The first suspect is described as a black male, 5ft 7in tall and in his late-twenties. He was wearing a black sports sweater, black cap and black tracksuit bottoms. 　

The second suspect is described as a black male also in his early twenties, and 5ft 5in tall. He had his face covered. 　

Detective Constable Simon Thomas of Kirklees CID said: “The incident took place on a busy road at a peak time, when there will have been a number of people in the area and I am certain that someone will have seen the suspects either entering or leaving the premises. I would appeal to anyone who was in the area around the time of the incident and saw anything suspicious or who has any information to come forward.”
