Armed raid at Sale bookmakers
9:30am Tuesday 13th May 2008
ARMED robbers threatened staff and stole money from a bookmakers in Sale.
Four men armed with a metal bar kicked down the security door to get into the Betfred bookmakers on Brooklands Road.
The offenders threatened staff and stole from the tills and arcade machines.
They left the scene in a red, new model Honda Civic down Brooklands Road towards Marsland Road.
All four men were wearing balaclavas and dark clothes.
Detective Constable Robert Tothill said: "Though nobody was injured, this incident has left staff badly shaken.
"The offenders need to be brought to justice to prevent them from carrying out similar crimes, and I would appeal to anyone with information to contact us."
Anyone with any information about the incident, which took place at around 9pm on Friday May 2, is asked to call Trafford CID on 0161 856 7692, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
