Police appeal for witnesses following armed robbery in Cheadle

Police are continuing to investigate an armed robbery that took place in Cheadle on Monday.

Officers were called to a premises in Councillor Lane at around 10am, after reports that a lone man had entered the premises, wedged the electric door open and approached the counter with a white bag. He was holding an unknown item and demanded cash.

He then left the building, taking £6,000.

No arrests have been made but enquiries are ongoing to locate the suspect.

Police have identified a man (pictured) that they would like to speak to in connection with this incident as they believe he has vital information that would assist their investigation.

Witnesses can come forward

Detective sergeant Chris Oldham said: “We understand the concern this incident will raise in the local community and we are actively exploring a number of lines of enquiry.

“As this happened in broad daylight, we are confident there will be witnesses and we are now appealing to them to come forward and share any details with us that could help with the investigation.

“Thankfully no one was seriously injured or hurt during the robbery, but with a significant amount of cash being taken, we are committed on finding the suspect to prevent any further incidents.

“Patrols will continue in the surrounding areas to offer reassurance and we would encourage members of the public to continue to report or tell our officers of any concerns.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 0161 856 9790 direct or 101 quoting incident 911 of 25/03/2024. Alternatively, details can be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
