POLICE are appealing for witnesses following an armed robbery at a Co-op store in Warrington.
The raid was at the store in Cherry Lane, Lymm and involved four men wearing balaclavas and armed with a wheel brace.
They burst in shortly before 10pm on Monday, ordered staff and customers to lie on the floor and took cash from the till and a large quantity of cigarettes from behind the counter.
All four then fled, carrying the cigarettes in a large black sack and driving off in a small, silver hatchback along Cherry Lane in the direction of the motorway.
Police are seeking information from anyone who witnessed the incident.
They should call Warrington CID on 0845 458 0000 or the confidential Crimestoppers hotline on 0800 555 111.

My wife was in Co-op at the time. We are having to chase the police despite numerous phone calls and co-op are next to useless.
