Date published: 02 June 2014


STAFF were threatened with a gun as two armed raiders stole money from a Failsworth travel agency on Saturday.

The Co-operative Travel store, off Oldham Road, was raided at around 4pm.

One of the men pulled the gun from his waistband as the pair demanded money.

The store staff handed over cash before the two men fled the scene and police arrived shortly afterwards. Anyone with information is asked to call Greater Manchester Police on 101.
