Police appeal for help following Salford business robbery

Officers investigating a business robbery in Salford are appealing to the public for information.

At 10.30am on Thursday, a man entered a business on Worsley Road after cycling there on a pedal bike.

He joined the queue and when he reached the front, produced a knife which he used to threaten staff. He then climbed behind the counter and stole cash before getting away on his bike.

GMP Salford CID are investigating the incident and whilst no arrests have been made at this time, they are carrying out enquiries and appealing to the public for information.

They have also released the image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the incident (pictured) as its believed he could have relevant information that will assist with enquires.

DS Gareth Bannister said: “This was a frightening experience for staff and whilst I am relieved no one was injured, I understand the concern incidents of this nature will cause. Knives have no place on our streets and we are determined to locate the person responsible and hold them to account. Anyone who attempts to use intimidation or violence as a means of taking what is not theirs will be brought to justice. We are following up a number of lines of inquiry and are keen to speak to anyone with information that will assist us in this.”

Anyone who knows the whereabouts of this man or has other information or footage to share – including CCTV, mobile, or dashcam – should call 0161 856 8361 quoting incident number 991 of 29/08/2024.
